Computer Graphics for Convex Polyhedra: Hidden Line Removal and Shading.

Peer reviewed

Nicholls, R. L.; Teter, W. D. – Engineering Design Graphics Journal, 1988

Described is a computer algorithm for obtaining the coordinates of vertices, chord factors, and dihedral angles for plotting orthographic and axonometric projections, and for tabulating chord lengths and dihedral angles. (Author)

Multiple CubicBezier Curves.

Peer reviewed

Khonsari, Michael M.; Horn, Douglas – Engineering Design Graphics Journal, 1990

An algorithm is described for generating smooth curves of first-order continuity. The algorithm is composed of several cubic Bezier curves joined together at the user defined control points. Introduced is a tension control parameter which can be set thus providing additional flexibility in the design of free-form curves. (KR)
