  Public Functions

  NURBSSurfaceAttributeControl(NURBSSurfaceAttributeControl &&in_that)

    The move constructor creates a NURBSSurfaceAttributeControl by transferring the underlying impl of the rvalue reference to this NURBSSurfaceAttributeControl thereby avoiding a copy and allocation.

    Parameters:

      in_that – An rvalue reference to a NURBSSurfaceAttributeControl to take the impl from.

  NURBSSurfaceAttributeControl(NURBSSurfaceAttributeControl const &in_that)

    Initializes a control tied to the same object as in_that.

  explicit NURBSSurfaceAttributeControl(SegmentKey &in_seg)

    Initializes a control tied to the segment in_seg.

  inline virtual HPS::Type ObjectType() const

    This function returns the type the object, as declared (if the object is derived, this does not give the true type of the derived object).

    Returns:

      The declared type of the object in question, which may differ from the true, underlying type.

  NURBSSurfaceAttributeControl &operator=(NURBSSurfaceAttributeControl &&in_that)

    The move assignment operator transfers the underlying impl of the rvalue reference to this NURBSSurfaceAttributeControl thereby avoiding a copy.

    Parameters:

      in_that – An rvalue reference to a NURBSSurfaceAttributeControl to take the impl from.

    Returns:

      A reference to this NURBSSurfaceAttributeControl.

  NURBSSurfaceAttributeControl &operator=(NURBSSurfaceAttributeControl const &in_that)

    Share the underlying smart-pointer of the NURBSSurfaceAttributeControl source.

    Parameters:

      in_that – The NURBSSurfaceAttributeControl source of the assignment.

    Returns:

      A reference to this NURBSSurfaceAttributeControl.

  NURBSSurfaceAttributeControl &SetBudget(size_t in_budget)

      A reference to this object.

  NURBSSurfaceAttributeControl &SetMaximumDeviation(float in_deviation)
