Any segment between two points on a BCzier curve is itself a Bezier curve whose BCzier polygon is expressed explicitly in terms of the sides of the BCzier polygon associated with the original curve.
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
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
