Bezier Curve Drawing Programs
Derek Marriot

Running Bezier opens a directory viewer containing three Bezier curve drawing programs.

Bezier1 draws a Bezier curve along with its control points.

Bezier2 is similar to Bezier1 except that the user specifies the number of divisions to be used when drawing the curve. The greater the number of divisions, the smoother the curve. A value of greater than about 12 will result in the curve taking a long time to draw.

Bezier3 is similar to Bezier2 except that the user specifies the flatness of the curve, from which the program calculates the number of divisions. The lower the flatness, the smoother the curve.

The drawing of Bezier curves is described in detail in this month's magazine (RISC User Volume 4 Issue 3 page 8).
