Abstract

We develop a class of rational, G^2-connected splines of degree 3 that allow modeling multiple basic shapes, such as segments of conics and circle arcs in particular, in one structure. @? This can be used, for example, to have portions of a control polygon exactly reproduce segments of the shapes while other portions blend between these primary shapes. We also show how to reparameterize the splines to obtain parametrically C^2 transitions.
