β¦ Synopsis
An algorithmic approach to degree reduction of B-spline curves is presented.
The method consists of the following steps:
(a) decompose the B-spline curve into Btzier pieces on the fly, (b) degree reduce each Btzier piece, and (c) remove the unnecessary knots. A complete algorithm and precise error control are provided.

A useful and simple algorithm is presented for interactively generating B-spline interpolation curves and surfaces from B-spline approximation solutions. The difference between the data points and the B-spline approximation is used to modify the control vertices in order to generate a succession of
