Notes

Option flags:

.. csv-table::

	"0001", "Weights are specified"
	"0002", "Knots are specified"
	"0004", "Surface is trimmed"
	
Surface is inserted into the currently opened segment.

If trim operations are present, as indicated by the one of the bits in ``options``, the surface is followed by a variable-length list of trim operations, as described in :doc:`trim.html </general/hsf/opcodes/trim>`.

NURBS Surfaces were first added with version 7.0.
