文摘The Pythagorean Bézier hodograph curves are Bézier curves {x(t), y(t)}, whose hodograph (first-order parametric derivative) components satisfy the Phythagorean condition x’2(t) +y’2(t) = σ’(t) for some polynomial σ(t). For nth degree PB curve (n is odd), its offset curve is represented by rational Bézier curve with (2n - 1)th degree and arc length by polynomial. Specially, the properties of cubic PB curve are studied, its geometric features are discussed and its quasi-Hermite interpolating curve and GC1 composite cubic PB curve are also constructed.
