Generati ng the Bezier poi nts of B-spline curves and surfaces ## Wolfgang B6hm The well-known algorithm by de Boor for calculating a point of a B-spline curve can also be used to produce the B&ier points of a B-spline curve or surface.

Parametrized polynomial spline curves are defined by an S-polygon, but locally they are Bdzier curves defined by a B-polygon. Two algorithms are given which construct one polygon from the other and vice versa. The generalization to surfaces is straightforward. This may be of some interest in CA D be
Sections of parametric surfaces defined by equally spaced parameter values can be very unevenly spaced physically. This can cause practical problems when the surface is to be drawn or machined automatically. This paper describes a method for imposing a good parametrization on a curve constructed by
In describing the tool path for a certain CNC machine, it is often required to approximate Bezier curves by arc splines with the number of arc segments as small as possible. We give a new method for approximating quadratic BCzier curves by G' arc splines with smaller number of arc segments than the
A new formulation for the representation and designing of curves and surfaces is presented. It is a novel generalization of Bézier curves and surfaces. Firstly, a class of polynomial basis functions with n adjustable shape parameters is present. It is a natural extension to classical Bernstein basis
