Bezier

class compas.geometry.Bezier(points)[source]

Bases: Primitive

A Bezier curve is defined by control points and a degree.

A Bezier curve of degree n is a linear combination of n + 1 Bernstein basis polynomials of degree n.

Parameters

points (sequence[point]) – A sequence of control points, represented by their location in 3D space.

Attributes

• points (list[Point]) – The control points.

• degree (int, read-only) – The degree of the curve.

Examples

>>> curve = Bezier([[0.0, 0.0, 0.0], [0.5, 1.0, 0.0], [1.0, 0.0, 0.0]])
>>> curve.degree
2
