A Bzier curve pronounced bezje is a parametric curve frequently used in computer graphics and related fields. Systran 6 Premium Translator Serial. Generalizations of Bzier curves to higher dimensions are called Bzier surfaces, of which the Bzier triangle is a special case. In vector graphics, Bzier curves are used to model smooth curves that can be scaled indefinitely. Paths, as they are commonly referred to in image manipulation programs,note 1 are combinations of linked Bzier curves. Paths are not bound by the limits of rasterized images and are intuitive to modify.

Bzier curves are also used in the time domain, particularly in animation, user interfacenote 2 design and smoothing cursor trajectory in eye gaze controlled interfaces. For example, a Bzier curve can be used to specify the velocity over time of an object such as an icon moving from A to B, rather than simply moving at a fixed number of pixels per step. When animators or interface designers talk about the physics or feel of an operation, they may be referring to the particular Bzier curve used to control the velocity over time of the move in question. This also applies to robotics where the motion of a welding arm, for example, should be smooth to avoid unnecessary wear. The mathematical basis for Bzier curvesthe Bernstein polynomialhad been known since 1. French engineer Pierre Bzier, who used them to design automobile bodies at Renault. The study of these curves was however first developed in 1. Paul de Casteljau using de Casteljaus algorithm, a numerically stable method to evaluate Bzier curves at Citron, another French automaker. ApplicationseditComputer graphicseditBzier curves are widely used in computer graphics to model smooth curves. As the curve is completely contained in the convex hull of its control points, the points can be graphically displayed and used to manipulate the curve intuitively. Affine transformations such as translation and rotation can be applied on the curve by applying the respective transform on the control points of the curve. Quadratic and cubic Bzier curves are most common. Higher degree curves are more computationally expensive to evaluate. When more complex shapes are needed, low order Bzier curves are patched together, producing a composite Bzier curve. Libro De Manualidades Pdf here. A composite Bzier curve is commonly referred to as a path in vector graphics languages like Post. Script, vector graphics standards like SVG and vector graphics programs like Adobe Illustrator, Corel. Draw and Inkscape. To guarantee smoothness C1 continuityclarification needed, the control point at which two curves meet must be on the line between the two control points on either side. The simplest method for scan converting rasterizing a Bzier curve is to evaluate it at many closely spaced points and scan convert the approximating sequence of line segments. However, this does not guarantee that the rasterized output looks sufficiently smooth, because the points may be spaced too far apart. Conversely it may generate too many points in areas where the curve is close to linear. A common adaptive method is recursive subdivision, in which a curves control points are checked to see if the curve approximates a straight line to within a small tolerance. If not, the curve is subdivided parametrically into two segments, 0 t 0. There are also forward differencing methods, but great care must be taken to analyse error propagation. Analytical methods where a Bzier is intersected with each scan line involve finding roots of cubic polynomials for cubic Bziers and dealing with multiple roots, so they are not often used in practice. AnimationeditIn animation applications, such as Adobe Flash and Synfig, Bzier curves are used to outline, for example, movement. Users outline the wanted path in Bzier curves, and the application creates the needed frames for the object to move along the path. For 3. D animation Bzier curves are often used to define 3. D paths as well as 2. D curves for keyframe interpolation. Bzier curves are now very frequently used to control the animation easing in CSS and Java. Script. True. Type fonts use composite Bzier curves composed of quadratic Bzier curves. Modern imaging systems like Post. Script, Asymptote, Metafont, and SVG use composite Bziers composed of cubic Bzier curves for drawing curved shapes. Open. Type fonts can use either kind, depending on the flavor of the font. The internal rendering of all Bzier curves in font or vector graphics renderers will split them recursively up to the point where the curve is flat enough to be drawn as a series of linear or circular segments. The exact splitting algorithm is implementation dependent, only the flatness criteria must be respected to reach the necessary precision and to avoid non monotonic local changes of curvature. The smooth curve feature of charts in Microsoft Excel also uses this algorithm. Because arcs of circles and ellipses cannot be exactly represented by Bzier curves, they are first approximated by Bzier curves, which are in turn approximated by arcs of circles. This is inefficient as there exists also approximations of all Bzier curves using arcs of circles or ellipses, which can be rendered incrementally with arbitrary precision. Another approach, used by modern hardware graphics adapters with accelerated geometry, can convert exactly all Bzier and conic curves or surfaces into NURBS, that can be rendered incrementally without first splitting the curve recursively to reach the necessary flatness condition. This approach also allows preserving the curve definition under all linear or perspective 2. D and 3. D transforms and projections. Font engines, like Free. Type, draw the fonts curves and lines on a pixellated surface using a process known as font rasterization. Specific caseseditA Bzier curve is defined by a set of control points. P0 through Pn, where n is called its order n 1 for linear, 2 for quadratic, etc. The first and last control points are always the end points of the curve however, the intermediate control points if any generally do not lie on the curve. The sums in the following sections are to be understood as affine combinations, the coefficients sum to 1. Linear Bzier curveseditGiven distinct points P0 and P1, a linear Bzier curve is simply a straight line between those two points. The curve is given by. BtP0tP1P01tP0t. P1 , 0t1displaystyle mathbf B tmathbf P 0tmathbf P 1 mathbf P 01 tmathbf P 0tmathbf P 1mbox, 0leq tleq 1and is equivalent to linear interpolation. Quadratic Bzier curveseditA quadratic Bzier curve is the path traced by the function Bt, given points P0, P1, and P2,Bt1t1tP0t. P1t1tP1t. P2 , 0t1displaystyle mathbf B t1 t1 tmathbf P 0tmathbf P 1t1 tmathbf P 1tmathbf P 2mbox, 0leq tleq 1,which can be interpreted as the linear interpolant of corresponding points on the linear Bzier curves from P0 to P1 and from P1 to P2 respectively. Rearranging the preceding equation yields Bt1t2.
