Tangentially relevant, but I've been going through a book about compass and straight edge (and sector) constructions in furniture design[0], and there's a section on various curves that can be made with a compass, which essentially involves finding points that can be equidistant between two other points, then using that as the center of a circle, I've been wondering if Bezier curves could fit into such a style. From what I can tell, the methods described in the book ensure that the input points are always on the curve, while with b-splines only the first and last point are.
