Analytic constraint solvers have a limited set of available geometries, typically lines and circles. This paper examines a method for constraining the control net of a rational quadratic Bezier curve so that it is always an elliptical arc.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
