PARENT CLASS FUNCTIONS
The OpenGL Performer class pfSuperQuadCurve3d is derived from the parent
class pfCurve3d, so each of these member functions of class pfCurve3d are
also directly usable with objects of class pfSuperQuadCurve3d. Casting
an object of class pfSuperQuadCurve3d to an object of class pfCurve3d is
taken care of automatically. This is also true for casts to objects of
ancestor classes of class pfCurve3d.

Since the class pfCurve3d is itself derived from the parent class pfRep,
objects of class pfSuperQuadCurve3d can also be used with these functions
designed for objects of class pfRep.
void pfRepOrigin(pfRep *rep, const pfVec3 origin);
void pfRepOrient(pfRep *rep, const pfMatrix mat);
void pfGetRepOrigin(pfRep *rep, pfVec3* origin);
void pfGetRepOrient(pfRep *rep, pfMatrix *mat);
Since the class pfRep is itself derived from the parent class pfGeode,
objects of class pfSuperQuadCurve3d can also be used with these functions
designed for objects of class pfGeode.
int pfAddGSet(pfGeode* geode, pfGeoSet* gset);
int pfRemoveGSet(pfGeode* geode, pfGeoSet* gset);
int pfInsertGSet(pfGeode* geode, int index, pfGeoSet* gset);

pfGeoSet * pfGetGSet(const pfGeode* geode, int index);
int pfGetNumGSets(const pfGeode* geode);
Since the class pfGeode is itself derived from the parent class pfNode,
objects of class pfSuperQuadCurve3d can also be used with these functions
designed for objects of class pfNode.

int pfGetNodeTravMode(const pfNode* node, int which,
int mode);
Since the class pfNode is itself derived from the parent class pfObject,
objects of class pfSuperQuadCurve3d can also be used with these functions
designed for objects of class pfObject.

int pfGetNamedUserDataSlot(const char *name);
const char* pfGetUserDataSlotName(int slot);
int pfGetNumNamedUserDataSlots(void);
int pfDeleteGLHandle(pfObject *obj);
Since the class pfObject is itself derived from the parent class
pfMemory, objects of class pfSuperQuadCurve3d can also be used with these
functions designed for objects of class pfMemory.

DESCRIPTION
pfSuperQuadCurve3d defines a three-dimensional parametric curve as the
following:
x(t) = radius * sign(cos(t)) * pow(|cos(t)|, exponent);
y(t) = radius * sign(sin(t)) * pow(|sin(t)|, exponent);
z(t) = 0.0;
The curve is subject to the transformation of the matrix orientation and
translation of origin, which are inherited members from class pfRep.
pfGetSuperQuadCurve3dClassType returns the pfType* for the class

pfSuperQuadCurve3d(3pf) OpenGL Performer 3.2.2 libpf C Reference Pages
pfSuperQuadCurve3d. The pfType* returned by
pfGetSuperQuadCurve3dClassType is the same as the pfType* returned by
invoking pfGetType on any instance of class pfSuperQuadCurve3d. Because
OpenGL Performer allows subclassing of built-in types, when decisions are
made based on the type of an object, it is usually better to use
pfIsOfType to test if an object is of a type derived from a Performer
type rather than to test for strict equality of the pfType*'s.
pfNewSuperQuadCurve3d creates an instance of an pfSuperQuadCurve3d. The
radius is initialized to 1, exponent is initialized to 2, beginT is
initialized to 0 and endT is initialized to 2*pi.
pfSuperQuadCurve3dRadius sets the radius value.
pfGetSuperQuadCurve3dRadius returns the radius value.
pfSuperQuadCurve3dExponent sets the exponent value.
pfGetSuperQuadCurve3dExponent returns the radius value.
pfSuperQuadCurve3dEvalPt Evaluates the curve at parameter t. The
resulting point is store in pnt.
