To create a \b Curve in the <b>Main Menu</b> select <b>New Entity - >
Basic - > Curve</b>

\n There are three algorithms to create a \b Curve in the 3D space. Each
time you define it by a list of \b Points through which the curve
passes. The three <b>Curve Construction</b> menu choices correspond to three
possible types of curves: Polyline, Besier or B-spline (Interpolated).
\n The \b Result of each operation will be a GEOM_Object (edge).

\n <b>TUI Commands:</b>
<ul>
<li><em>geompy.MakePolyline(ListOfShapes,isClosed)</em></li>
<li><em>geompy.MakeBezier(ListOfShapes,isClosed)</em></li>
<li><em>geompy.MakeInterpol(ListOfShapes,isClosed,doReordering)</em></li>
</ul>
ListOfShape is a list of points through which the curve passes.
If isClosed is True, MakeBezier and MakeInterpol builds a closed edge,
MakePolyline builds a closed wire. If doReordering is True,
MakeInterpol does not follow the order of vertices but searches for the
closest vertex.

<b>Arguments:</b> Name + at least 2 points which will serve as nodes
on the curve.
