Bezier Curves

Isabella Jorissen Math 385 3.14.15

To run:

• python3 bezier.py
• optionally, python3 bezier.py <smoothness integer>; e.g python3 bezier.py 20`

##Functionality:

• click and drag blue control points (slowly!) to see how the bezier curve reacts
• see screengrabs folder

Coloring:

• Large blue points: initial control points
• Yellow points are midpoints
• Orange lines define the bounding triangle
• Pink points define curve a (defined by the points dcasta)
• Pink points define curve b (defined by the points dcastb)
• Green points define curve c (defined by the points dcastc)

##Possible Extensions:

• Given 3 points that define a curve (or, perhaps a unit circle), find the control points and approximate the curve
• Recursive algorithm for DeCasteljau
