curve: If someone throws you a curve or if they throw you a curve ball, they surprise you by doing something you do not expect. At the last minute, I threw them a curve ball by saying, `We're going to bring spouses'. to bend or move in the shape of a curve, or to make something do this. In mathematics, an abstract term used to describe the path of a continuously moving point (see continuity). Such a path is usually generated by an equation. The word can also apply to a straight line or to a series of line segments linked end to end. A closed curve is a path that repeats itself, and thus encloses one or more regions. Simple examples include circles, ellipses, and polygons. Open curves such as parabolas, hyperbolas, and spirals have infinite length
curve: traces the combination of interest rates and GNP at which investment equals saving
curve: A collection of straight or curved line segments attached by their ends, or knots, to make a curve The look of the resulting curve varies, depending on the manner of interpolating the control points The term curve refers to Linear or cubic NURBS curves They can not be rendered because they have no thickness, but they have many uses For example, they can be used as the basis for constructing surfaces They can also serve as paths along which an object is animated
curve: A line described according to some low, and having no finite portion of it a straight line
curve: As in tone curve, or color correction curve Beginning as a 45° angle line running up to the right, this line is adjusted into a curve shape by the user to effect color or tone correction The lower left end of the curve typically represents the dark portions of a picture and an upward bend will typically lighten the shadows Similar capabilities exist by working with the middle or highlight parts of the curve In this way it is possible to alter only certain tone ranges of an image without making un-wanted changes in other parts of the image
curve: A change of flying direction that is not a turn or an arc Curves can be complex, as in the Rug (DI 28) or the ellipses in the Soup Can (DI 36) Curves can also be simpler as in the curve at the bottom of the flower in the Tulip (DI 32)
