It simplifies the drawing of beautiful +curves. + +Using bezier splines an artist can easily draw curves with the same slope on +either side of an on-curve point. Spiros, on the other hand, are based on +clothoid splines which make it easy to maintain constant curvature as well as +constant slope. Such curves will simply look nicer. + +Raph Levien's spiro splines only use on-curve points and so are easier to use +and more intuitive to the artist. + +This library will take an array of spiro control points and convert them into +a series of bezier splines which can then be used in the myriad of ways the +world has come to use beziers. |
