Hi,

I was asked to put the patch from my email
'[Bf-committers] help needed to cleanup bezier code "makeCyclic()"'
( http://lists.blender.org/pipermail/bf-committers/2008-June/021302.html )
on the patch tracker ... so here it is :)

Please read the email before considering to apply the patch!

Todo:

- clean up 'makecyclicNurb2()'
from code not needed in the python implementation of 'makeCyclic()'

or even better - for avoiding code duplication:

- generalise the original code of 'makecyclicNurb()'
in file 'source/blender/src/editcurve.c'
and use the generalised code in the implementation of 'CurNurb_makeCyclic()'

I appended two files:

- the path itself: make-cyclic-patch.txt
- an example script using the patch: make-cyclic-example.py

Thanks :)

Dietrich


Here a protocol with the patch applied:

blender -P make-cyclic-example.py

[...]

>>> b.data[0].isCyclic(): False
>>> b.data[0].makeCyclic()
>>> b.data[0].isCyclic(): True

Note that the bezier handles of the point where the bezier
was closed have to be adjusted after making it cyclic.
