Points, vectors, control points and planes can always be coerced between themselves using this routine by specifying the new object type desired such as IP_OBJ_PLANE or control point type like CAGD_PT_E4_TYPE. Control points of curves and surfaces may be coerced to a new type by prescribing the needed point type as NewType, such as CAGD_PT_P2_TYPE.

PARAMETERS:

PObj: Object to coerce.

NewType: New type which can be object type like IP_OBJ_VECTOR or point type like E2.

FUNCTION RETURN VALUE

IPObjectStruct *: Newly coerced object.
