Spiro is the creation of Raph Levien. It simplifies the drawing of beautiful
|
|
curves.
|
|
|
|
Using bezier splines an artist can easily draw curves with the same slope on
|
|
either side of an on-curve point. Spiros, on the other hand, are based on
|
|
clothoid splines which make it easy to maintain constant curvature as well as
|
|
constant slope. Such curves will simply look nicer.
|
|
|
|
Raph Levien's spiro splines only use on-curve points and so are easier to use
|
|
and more intuitive to the artist.
|
|
|
|
This library will take an array of spiro control points and convert them into a
|
|
series of bezier splines which can then be used in the myriad of ways the world
|
|
has come to use beziers.
