//! Describes a BSpline surface.
//! In each parametric direction, a BSpline surface can be:
//! - uniform or non-uniform,
//! - rational or non-rational,
//! - periodic or non-periodic.
//! A BSpline surface is defined by:
//! - its degrees, in the u and v parametric directions,
//! - its periodic characteristic, in the u and v parametric directions,
//! - a table of poles, also called control points (together
//! with the associated weights if the surface is rational), and
//! - a table of knots, together with the associated multiplicities.
//! The degree of a Geom_BSplineSurface is limited to
//! a value (25) which is defined and controlled by the
//! system. This value is returned by the function MaxDegree.
//! Poles and Weights
//! Poles and Weights are manipulated using two associative double arrays:
//! - the poles table, which is a double array of gp_Pnt points, and
//! - the weights table, which is a double array of reals.
//! The bounds of the poles and weights arrays are:
//! - 1 and NbUPoles for the row bounds (provided
//! that the BSpline surface is not periodic in the u
//! parametric direction), where NbUPoles is the
//! number of poles of the surface in the u parametric direction, and
//! - 1 and NbVPoles for the column bounds (provided
//! that the BSpline surface is not periodic in the v
//! parametric direction), where NbVPoles is the
//! number of poles of the surface in the v parametric direction.
//! The poles of the surface are the points used to shape
//! and reshape the surface. They comprise a rectangular network.
//! If the surface is not periodic:
//! - The points (1, 1), (NbUPoles, 1), (1,
//! NbVPoles), and (NbUPoles, NbVPoles)
//! are the four parametric "corners" of the surface.
//! - The first column of poles and the last column of
//! poles define two BSpline curves which delimit the
//! surface in the v parametric direction. These are the
//! v isoparametric curves corresponding to the two
//! bounds of the v parameter.
//! - The first row of poles and the last row of poles
//! define two BSpline curves which delimit the surface
//! in the u parametric direction. These are the u
//! isoparametric curves corresponding to the two bounds of the u parameter.
//! If the surface is periodic, these geometric properties are not verified.
//! It is more difficult to define a geometrical significance
//! for the weights. However they are useful for
//! representing a quadric surface precisely. Moreover, if
//! the weights of all the poles are equal, the surface has
//! a polynomial equation, and hence is a "non-rational surface".
//! The non-rational surface is a special, but frequently
//! used, case, where all poles have identical weights.
//! The weights are defined and used only in the case of
//! a rational surface. The rational characteristic is
//! defined in each parametric direction. A surface can be
//! rational in the u parametric direction, and
//! non-rational in the v parametric direction.
//! Knots and Multiplicities
//! For a Geom_BSplineSurface the table of knots is
//! made up of two increasing sequences of reals, without
//! repetition, one for each parametric direction. The
//! multiplicities define the repetition of the knots.
//! A BSpline surface comprises multiple contiguous
//! patches, which are themselves polynomial or rational
//! surfaces. The knots are the parameters of the
//! isoparametric curves which limit these contiguous
//! patches. The multiplicity of a knot on a BSpline
//! surface (in a given parametric direction) is related to
//! the degree of continuity of the surface at that knot in
//! that parametric direction:
//! Degree of continuity at knot(i) = Degree - Multi(i) where:
//! - Degree is the degree of the BSpline surface in
//! the given parametric direction, and
//! - Multi(i) is the multiplicity of knot number i in
//! the given parametric direction.
//! There are some special cases, where the knots are
//! regularly spaced in one parametric direction (i.e. the
//! difference between two consecutive knots is a constant).
//! - "Uniform": all the multiplicities are equal to 1.
//! - "Quasi-uniform": all the multiplicities are equal to 1,
//! except for the first and last knots in this parametric
//! direction, and these are equal to Degree + 1.
//! - "Piecewise Bezier": all the multiplicities are equal to
//! Degree except for the first and last knots, which
//! are equal to Degree + 1. This surface is a
//! concatenation of Bezier patches in the given
//! parametric direction.
//! If the BSpline surface is not periodic in a given
//! parametric direction, the bounds of the knots and
//! multiplicities tables are 1 and NbKnots, where
//! NbKnots is the number of knots of the BSpline
//! surface in that parametric direction.
//! If the BSpline surface is periodic in a given parametric
//! direction, and there are k periodic knots and p
//! periodic poles in that parametric direction:
//! - the period is such that:
//! period = Knot(k+1) - Knot(1), and
//! - the poles and knots tables in that parametric
//! direction can be considered as infinite tables, such that:
//! Knot(i+k) = Knot(i) + period, and
//! Pole(i+p) = Pole(i)
//! Note: The data structure tables for a periodic BSpline
//! surface are more complex than those of a non-periodic one.
