Dog and tricks: some mathematics for students of graphics This paper describes how parametric cubic splines and cubic Bezier curves may be used in designing a two dimensional shape. A simple aerofoil shape is designed using both methods. The mathematics is described and the shape drawn using Excel.

Abstract

This paper describes how parametric cubic splines and cubic Bezier curves may be used in designing a two dimensional shape. A simple aerofoil shape is designed using both methods. The mathematics is described and the shape drawn using Excel. The effect of varying parameters is shown in both methods.
