Q: Some laser printers use Bézier curves to represent letters and other symbols
Some laser printers use Bézier curves to represent letters and other symbols. Experiment with control points until you find a Bézier curve that gives a reasonable representation of the letter C.
See AnswerQ: More complicated shapes can be represented by piecing together two or more
More complicated shapes can be represented by piecing together two or more Bézier curves. Suppose the first Bézier curve has control points P0, P1, P2, P3 and the second one has control points P3, P4,...
