✦ Synopsis

The paper consists of two parts. In the first, an interrogation method for a visualization of curvature behaviour is introduced. The method consists of a generalized focal analysis. The second part concerns the accurate computation of surface behaviour. Arithmetic operations on BBzier surfaces are used to achieve au exact representation of surface properties. With these property surfaces in Bezier form, qualitative and quantitative statements relating to the investigated surface are possible.

An efficient way of drawing parametric curves and surfaces is to approximate the curve or surface by a sequence of straight-line segments or a mesh of polygons, respectively. In such an approximation, many small line segments or polygons are needed in regions of high curvature, and fewer and larger
