A Bezier curve is defined by four points that determine its shape and movement. It is commonly used in computer graphics, animation, and fonts to model smooth curves. Bezier curves can be pieced together and their control points adjusted to ensure continuity between sections. They allow complex curves to be generated from simple components. Bezier curves are widely applied in fields like computer graphics, animation, and font design due their ability to efficiently represent smooth curves.

- 2. A Bezier curve is a mathematically defined curve used in two- dimensional graphic applications. The curve is defined by four points: the initial position and the terminating position (which are called "anchors") and two separate middle points (which are called "handles"). The shape of a Bezier curve can be altered by moving the handles. The mathematical method for drawing curves was created by Pierre Bezier in the late 1960's for the manufacturing of automobiles at Renault. Definition 2

- 7. 5. Moving control points: Properties 7
- 8. 6.Multiple control points at a single coordinate position gives more weight to that position. Properties 8

- 10. When complicated curves are to be generated, they can be formed by piecing several Bézier sections of lower degree together. When complicated curves are to be generated, they can be formed by piecing several Bézier sections of lower degree together. Design Technique 10
- 11. Since Bézier curves pass through endpoints; it is easy to match curve sections (C0 continuity) Zero order continuity: P´0=P2 Design Technique 11
- 12. Since the tangent to the curve at an endpoint is along the line joining that endpoint to the adjacent control point; Design Technique 12
- 13. To obtain C1 continuity between curve sections, we can pick control points P´0 and P´1 of a new section to be along the same straight line as control points Pn-1 and Pn of the previous section First order continuity: P1, P2, and P´1 collinear. Design Technique 13
- 14. This relation states that to achieve C1 continuity at the joining point the ratio of the length of the last leg of the first curve (i.e., |pm - pm-1|) and the length of the first leg of the second curve (i.e., |q1 - q0|) must be n/m. Since the degrees m and n are fixed, we can adjust the positions of pm-1 or q1 on the same line so that the above relation is satisfied Design Technique 14
- 15. The left curve is of degree 4, while the right curve is of degree7. But, the ratio of the last leg of the left curve and the first leg of the second curve seems near 1 rather than 7/4=1.75. To achieve C1 continuity, we should increase (resp., decrease) the length of the last (resp. first) leg of the left (resp., right). However, they are G1 continuous Design Technique 15
