A
Bézier curve
is a
parametric curve
used in
computer graphics
and related fields. The curve, which is related to the
Bernstein polynomial
, is named after
Pierre Bézier
, who used it in the 1960s for designing curves for the bodywork of
Renault
cars. Other uses include the design of computer
fonts
and animation. Bézier curves can be combined to form a
Bézier spline
, or generalized to higher dimensions to form
Bézier surfaces
.
