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

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.

This article presents a flexible curve and surface by using an arbitrary choice of polynomial as the basis for blending functions. The curve and surface is a generalization of most well known curves and surfaces. The conditions for various continuities of the curve segments and surface patches at th
Using the same technique as for the C-B-splines, two other forms of C-Bézier curves and a reformed formula for the subdivisions are proposed. With these new forms, C-Bézier curves can unify the processes for both the normal cases, and the limiting case (α → 0) with precise results. Like the C-B-spli
Conversion methods are required for the exchange of data. First a given rational B-spline surface with curved boundaries will be segmented by curvature oriented arguments, then these patches will be converted into bicubic or biquintic integral B4zier patches with help of geometric continuity conditi
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
