Somewhat disappointed in the Bezier section, which seems to want to incorrectly teach people that Bezier curves have four points, "the end", rather than teaching them that they can be defined with any number of points, and that an n-point Bezier represents a section of an nth order polygon, with point-on-curve calculation based on summing n terms with binomial coefficients.
- mbustamanter 5y agoYes, I thought so too. But I think the site reasonably and generally fulfills the objective of a 'dictionary'. I was going to reply to your comment with the best introduction to Bézier curves I've read (and I'm a math guy), before realizing that it was you who wrote it. You helped me understand some dry numerical analysis text I had been assigned since your primer is interactive and so 'concrete', thanks.

- TheRealPomax 5y agoAlways happy to hear the primer was able to help make something more easy to understand =)
