A new algorithm for creating Bézier curve

Li Liu

Abstract

The existing algorithms of creating Bezier curve, such as polygon cutting algorithm and unique step algorithm, cannot ensure the minimum quantity of the produced polygons. This paper presents a new algorithm for creating Bezier curve, in which the approximation polygon created is of the least straight line segments. A comparison is made between the new algorithm and the existing ones by examples.
