Interface Bezier

All Superinterfaces:

@UML(identifier="GM_Bezier",

public interface Bezier
extends BSplineCurve

Polynomial splines that use Bezier or Bernstein polynomials for interpolation purposes. An n-long control point array shall create a polynomial curve of degree n that defines the entire curve segment. These curves are defined in terms of a set of basis functions called the Bézier or Bernstein polynomials.
