4A) Bezier curves

Bezier curves were covered in the Part IB Computer Graphics and Image Processing course, and also in R&A Section 5-8.

Exercises
  1. Explain what C0-, C1-, C2-, Cn-continuity mean.
  2. Derive the constraints on control point positions which ensure that two quartic Bezier curves join with (a) C0-continuity, (b) C1-continuity, and (c) C2-continuity.
