Bezier
<graphics> (After Frenchman Pierre Bézier from Regie Renault) A
collection of formulae for describing curved lines (Bezier curve) and surfaces
(Bezier surface), first used in 1972 to model automobile surfaces.
Curves and surfaces are defined by a set of "control points" which can be moved
interactively making Bezier curves and surfaces convenient for interactive
graphic design.
