B-Splines bezier

See also: Splines by interpolation, Splines by control points, B-Spline from scattered points , Convert into b-spline.

Menu access : Curves | Splines

Description:

Creates a spline curve constraint by its control points, using a Bezier algorithm.

The difference of this curve with the other ones is that on Bezier case the move of one point will influence the complete curve.

The degree of the resulting curve is the number of points minus 1.

General philosophy:

  1. Choose BEZIER in the list

  2. Select the curve starting point.

  3. Select the different control points.

  4. Select on the  STOP  button when the last point is selected.

Example(s):

Specific point(s):

You can select a point several time in order to raise the influence of this point on the curve.

Thanks to the function "Edit | Insert", you can dynamically insert a knot or a point into a basic b-spline.

Available modification(s):

The icon allows you to move a point of the curve or the curve itself.

The icon allows you to change the influence on the curve of a specific point.
