[docs]class Edge:
"""Edges are one-dimensional regions of geometry.
Attributes
----------
index: int
An Int specifying the index of the edge in the EdgeArray.
isReferenceRep: Boolean
A Boolean specifying whether the edge belongs to the reference representation of the
Part or Instance.
pointOn: float
A tuple of Floats specifying the **X**-, **Y**-, and **Z**-coordinates of a point located on
the edge.
featureName: float
A tuple of Floats specifying the name of the feature that created this edge.
instanceName: float
A tuple of Floats specifying the name of the part instance for this edge (if
applicable).

[docs] def isTangentFlipped(self):

direction by the use of the flipTangent method on a Part object.
Returns
-------
A Boolean value of True if the tangent is flipped and False if not.

[docs] def getCurvature(self, parameter: float, point: tuple):
"""This method returns curvature information at a location on the edge.
Parameters
----------
parameter
A Float specifying the normalized parameter location on the edge where the curvature is
to be computed. This argument is mutually exclusive with the argument *point*.
point
A tuple of *X*-, *Y*-, and *Z*-coordinates of a point at which the curvature is to be
computed. If *point* does not lie on the edge an attempt is made to project it onto the
edge and use the projected point.
Returns
-------
A dictionary with keys 'evaluationPoint', 'curvature', 'radius', and 'tangent', where
'evaluationPoint' specifies the location at which the curvature was computed;
'curvature' specifies the curvature vector at that location; 'radius' is the radius of
curvature; and 'tangent' specifies the tangent to the edge at that location.
Raises
------
The given edge is straight.
