        public BSplineCurve3f​(int iNumCtrlPoints,
                      Vector3f[] akCtrlPoint,
                      int iDegree,

                      boolean bOpen)
        Construction and destruction. The caller is responsible for deleting the input arrays if they were dynamically allocated. Internal copies of the arrays are made, so to dynamically change control points or knots you must use the 'SetControlPoint', 'GetControlPoint', and 'Knot' member functions. Uniform spline. The number of control points is n+1 >= 2. The degree of the B-spline is d and must satisfy 1 t[i] = 0, 0 <= i <= d (i-d)/(n+1-d), d+1 <= i <= n 1, n+1 <= i <= n+d+1 If bOpen is 'false', the spline is periodic and the knots are 
               t[i] = (i-d)/(n+1-d),   0 <= i <= n+d+1
        If bLoop is 'true', extra control points are added to generate a closed curve. For an open spline, the control point array is reallocated and one extra control point is added, set to the first control point C[n+1] = C[0]. For a periodic spline, the control point array is reallocated and the first d points are replicated. In either case the knot array is calculated accordingly.
        Parameters:
        iNumCtrlPoints - number of control points is n+1 >= 2
        akCtrlPoint - control point array
        iDegree - degree of the B-spline is d and must satisfy 1
        bLoop - true to generate a closed loop
        bOpen - true for open, false for periodic

        Create a BSpline curve which best fits a set of 3D points.
        Parameters:
        akValue - float[] Array of values. The order of the points in the array defines a path.
