  • Methods for generating control points for cubic bezier curves
    Patent number: 7116327
    Abstract: Methods and devices for generating a cubic Bézier curve between a first point and a second point from a sequence of ordered points. One embodiment provides a method that includes selecting a third point from the sequence of ordered points; determining a first control point based on the first point, the second point, and the third point; selecting a fourth point from the sequence of ordered points; determining a second control point based on the first point, the second point, and the fourth point; and generating a cubic Bézier curve between the first point and the second point using the first control point and the second control point.
