***

Create a "sagging" spline from a line using "Length Factor" input to modify amount of sag.

## Installation

Clone this repo or copy the package folder into your nTop workspace:

```bash theme={null}
git clone https://github.com/nTopology/Utilities.git
```

The package lives at `packages/DaveMakesStuff/catenary-spline-from-line/`.

## Usage

1. Open the provided `.ntop` file in nTop 4.12+.
2. Input line and Length Factor
3. Adjust "Count" value to minimize computation time

| Name            | Type          | Notes                                                                                                          |
| --------------- | ------------- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| `Line`          | Line          | Line to create catenary spline from                                                                            |
| `Length`        | Scalar Value  | Controls amount of sag                                                                                         |
| `Count`         | Integer Value | Number of points used to plot spline. Larger values will improve resolution but require more computation time. |
| `Output Spline` | Spline        | Main result                                                                                                    |
