Abstract: | As the relationship between the control polygon and the curve specified by generalised cubic blending functions has been defined rather vaguely previously, the present paper proves that the curve is tangent to the middle side of its control polygon only when the blending functions reduce to those of Timmer which are a special case of the former. Otherwise, the curve looses the convex hull property of the Bézier curve formulation and may be discontinuous. |
