Preface
 In the mathematical field
of numerical analysis, a
Bézier curve is a
parametric curve
important in computer
graphics and related fields.
 Generalizations of Bézier
curves to higher
dimensions are called
Bézier surfaces, of which
the Bézier triangle is a
special case.
Preface
 Bézier curves were widely publicized in 1962
by the French engineer Pierre Bézier, who used
them to design automobile bodies.
 The curves were first developed in 1959 by
Paul de Casteljau using de Casteljau's
algorithm, a numerically stable method to
evaluate Bézier curves.
Linear Bézier curves
 Given points P0 and P1, a linear Bézier curve is
simply a straight line between those two points.
The curve is given by
Quadratic Bézier curves
 A quadratic Bézier curve is the path traced by
the function B(t), given points P0, P1, and P2,

 A quadratic Bézier curve is also a parabolic

segment.
 TrueType fonts use Bézier splines composed of
quadratic Bézier curves.
Cubic Bézier curves
 Four points P0, P1, P2 and P3 in the plane or in three-
dimensional space define a cubic Bézier curve. The
curve starts at P0 going toward P1 and arrives at P3
coming from the direction of P2. Usually, it will not
pass through P1 or P2; these points are only there to
provide directional information. The distance between
P0 and P1 determines "how long" the curve moves into
direction P2 before turning towards P3.
 The parametric form of the curve is:
Generalization
 The Bézier curve of degree n can be generalized as follows.
Given points P0, P1,..., Pn, the Bézier curve is

 For example, for n = 5:

 This formula can be expressed recursively as
follows:
 denote the Bézier curve determined
by the points P0, P1,..., Pn. Then

 words, the degree n Bézier curve is a linear

interpolation between two degree n − 1 Bézier
curves.
Terminology
 Some terminology is associated with these
parametric curves. We have

Animation of a linear Bézier curve, t in [0,1]

• The t in the function for a linear Bézier curve can be thought of as

describing how far B(t) is from P0 to P1. For example when t=0.25,
B(t) is one quarter of the way from point P0 to P1. As t varies from 0
to 1, B(t) describes a curved line from P0 to P1.
Quadratic curves
 For quadratic Bézier curves one can construct
intermediate points Q0 and Q1 such that as t varies from
0 to 1:
• Point Q0 varies from P0 to P1 and describes a linear Bézier
curve.
• Point Q1 varies from P1 to P2 and describes a linear Bézier
curve.
• Point B(t) varies from Q0 to Q1 and describes a quadratic Bézier
curve.

Higher-order curves
 For higher-order curves one needs correspondingly more
intermediate points. For cubic curves one can construct
intermediate points Q0, Q1 & Q2 that describe linear Bézier
curves, and points R0 & R1 that describe quadratic Bézier
curves:

 For fourth-order curves one can construct intermediate
points Q0, Q1, Q2 & Q3 that describe linear Bézier curves,
points R0, R1 & R2 that describe quadratic Bézier curves,
and points S0 & S1 that describe cubic Bézier curves:
