bezier_i {Momocs}

Calculates a shape from Bezier coefficients

Description

Calculates a shape from Bezier coefficients

Usage

bezier_i(B, nb.pts = 120)

Arguments

B

a matrix of Bezier vertices, such as those produced by bezier

nb.pts

the number of points to sample along the curve.

Value

a matrix of (x; y) coordinates

Note

Directly borrowed for Claude (2008), and called beziercurve there. Not implemented for open outlines but may be useful for other purposes.
