A curve used by freeform surfaces.
Surfaces allow the definition of parametric curves that cut away parts of the surface. Curves need to be closed and may not intersect themselves or other curves on the same surface. The curves are called parametric because they are defined in the surface's UV space - all curve control points have only two coordinates (U and V). The UV coordinates must be in the parameter space of the surface (which might be restricted by its range parameters).
There are two types of curves, trim curves and hole curves. A trim curve cuts away all parts of the surface outside the curve. A hole curve cuts away all parts inside the curve. Curves can be nested: a trim curve inside a hole curve "restores" the surface area inside the inner trim curve. Nested curves need to have alternating types and must be specified in the correct order from the outermost to the innermost. Non-nested curves can be specified in any order. Clockwise/counterclockwise ordering is not significant.
A curve consists of one or more curve segments. Segments are similar to surfaces, except that they are only 1-dimensional (and as the curve, are defined not in 3D space, but in the UV parameter space of the surface).
Curve segments are stored with consecutive indices, starting with the index 0. For type safety, indices of curve segments are represented using mi::neuraylib::Curve_segment_handle instead of plain integers.
