Introduction
============

NURBS-Python (geomdl) is a pure Python, self-contained, object-oriented B-Spline and NURBS spline library for Python
versions 2.7.x, 3.4.x and later.

The `following article <https://doi.org/10.1016/j.softx.2018.12.005>`_ outlines the design and features of NURBS-Python
(geomdl). I would be glad if you would cite it if you have used NURBS-Python (geomdl) in your research::

      title={{NURBS-Python}: An open-source object-oriented {NURBS} modeling framework in {Python}},
      author={Bingol, Onur Rauf and Krishnamurthy, Adarsh},
      journal={{SoftwareX}},
      volume={9},
      pages={85--94},
      year={2019},

    }

Features
========

NURBS-Python (geomdl) provides convenient data structures and highly customizable API for rational and non-rational
splines along with the efficient and extensible implementations of the following algorithms:

* Spline evaluation
* Derivative evaluation
* Knot insertion
* Knot removal
* Knot vector refinement
* Degree elevation
* Degree reduction
* Curve and surface fitting via interpolation and least squares approximation

NURBS-Python (geomdl) also provides customizable visualization and animation options via Matplotlib, Plotly and VTK
libraries. Please refer to the `documentation <http://nurbs-python.readthedocs.io/>`_ for more details.

Installation
============

The easiest way to install NURBS-Python (geomdl) is using ``pip``:

.. code-block:: console

    $ pip install --user geomdl

It is also possible to install NURBS-Python (geomdl) using ``conda``:

.. code-block:: console

    $ conda install -c orbingol geomdl

Please refer to the `Installation and Testing <http://nurbs-python.readthedocs.io/en/latest/install.html>`_ section
of the documentation for alternative installation methods.
