#!N  #!Rdxrib DXRibbon #!N 
#!N Function #!N #!N Produces a ribbon of the given width 
from a path or group of paths. #!N #!N Syntax #!N 
 #!F-adobe-times-bold-r-normal--18*   #include <dx/dx.h> Object DXRibbon(Object o, double width) #!EF #!N #!N 
Functional Details #!N #!N Produces a ribbon of the width  #!F-adobe-times-bold-r-normal--18*   
width #!EF from a path or group of paths in Object 
 #!F-adobe-times-bold-r-normal--18*   o #!EF . The ribbon is perpendicular to the normal 
and parallel to the tangent at each point on the path, 
where the normals are provided by the "normals" component if present 
or approximated from the path otherwise. The normals (given or computed) 
are translated to the generated vertices and associated with the ribbon 
for shading. If the direction of the normals changes too rapidly, 
breaks in the ribbon may occur. #!N #!N For additional details 
on ribbons, see Ribbon in IBM Visualization Data Explorer User's Reference. 
#!N #!N Return Value #!N #!N Returns the ribbon, or returns 
 #!F-adobe-times-bold-r-normal--18*   NULL #!EF and sets the error code to indicate an 
error. #!N #!N See Also #!N #!N  #!F-adobe-times-bold-r-normal--18*    #!Ldxtbe,dxall1401 h DXTube  #!EL  #!EF #!N
