bézier curves

listen to the pronunciation of bézier curves
Englisch - Englisch
plural form of Bézier curve
Bézier curve
A cubic curve used as a spline, defined by four control points, of which two are the ends, and the other two determine the velocity with respect to the parameter at the ends
Bezier curve
curve produced by a special set of mathematical formulae
bezier curve
A type of curves calculated mathematically that connects two points to form a smooth, free-form curve or surface Bezier curves require few points to define a large number of shapes - thus the advantage over methods of defining curves, such as bits or mathematical expressions
bezier curve
A curve created from endpoints and two or more control points that serve as positions for the shape of the curve Originated by P Bezier (~1962) for the use in car body descriptions
bezier curve
A curve defined by endpoints, tangent lines, and control points at the ends of the tangent lines Altering the length and angle of tangent lines alters the shape of the curve
bezier curve
Most graphics software offers a tool for creating paths with Bezier curves
bezier curve
Mathematically defined curve, used in CAD and graphics application software to create curved images
bezier curve
[re: computer graphics] a curved line segment within drawing and imaging applications which consists of anchor points which allow the curve to be reshaped
bezier curve
(n) A special case of the B-spline curve Unlike a standard B-spline curve, the Bezier does not provide for local control, meaning that changing one control point affects the entire curve
bezier curve
A cubic polynomial formulation whose parameters specify four points near the desired curve shape In three dimensions, a Bezier surface is specified by sixteen points near the desired surface patch
bezier curve
It is a method used by object-oriented programs to mathematically define curves The curve is defined by the position of its end points and by two other points that indirectly define the tangents at the curve's end points The procedure makes a smooth sloping transition between three or more points on a line This method for constructing curves was developed by the French engineer Bezier for use in the design of Renault automobile bodies
bezier curve
Per computer graphics, a bezier is a curved line described by two end points and two or four control points The end points are the ends of the curve itself The control points determine the shape of the curve, but are not on the curve itself
bezier curve
A vector graphic, named after French mathematician, Pierre Bezier, that is defined mathematically by two end points and other points that control its shape
bezier curve
(n) A special case of the B-spline curve Unlike a standard B-spline curve, the Bezier does not provide for local control meaning that changing one control point affects the entire curve
bezier curve
A type of curve with nonuniform arcs, as opposed to curves with uniform curvature, which are called arcs A Bezier curve is defined by specifying control points that set the shape of the curve and are used to create letter shapes and other computer graphics
bezier curve
A curved line segment drawn using the Pen tool that can be reshaped by manipulating its anchor points or direction lines
bezier curve
(n ) In computer graphics, a curve created from endpoints and two or more control points that serve as positions for the shape of the curve Often used in MCAD applications
bezier curve
A Bezier Curve is a line created from endpoints and two or more control points which can be adjusted to control the curve's shape Vector based drawing programs use Bezier curves to represent objects
bezier curve
In computer graphics, a bezier is a curved line that is described by two end points and two or four control points The end points are the ends of the curve itself The control points determine the shape of the curve, but are not on the curve itself Named for the French mathematician who invented it Bezier curve
