A planar cubic B6zier curve that is a spiral, i.e., its curvature varies monotonically, does not have internal cusps, loops, and inflection points. It is suitable as a design tool for applications in which fair curves are important. Since it is polynomial, it can be conveniently incorporated in CAD

An image's outline cannot be fitted by a single cubic Be ´zier curve piece if it contains corners. Corners are points In this paper, a new curve-fitting algorithm is presented. This algorithm can automatically fit a set of data points with at which the outline's directions take a sharp turn, or the
Consumer products such as ping-pong paddles, can be designed by blending circles. To be visually pleasing it is desirable that the blend be curvature continuous without extraneous curvature extrema. Transition curves of gradually increasing or decreasing curvature between circles also play an import
We elucidate the connection between Bézier curves in polar coordinates, also called p-Bézier or focal Bézier curves, and certain families of spirals and sectrix curves. p-Bézier curves are the analogue in polar coordinates of nonparametric Bézier curves in Cartesian coordinates. Such curves form a s
