Abstract

The article was motivated by J. Blinn's column on the many ways to draw a circle (see ibid., vol.7, no.8, p.39-44, 1987). The authors have found several other ways to represent the circle as a nonuniform rational B-spline curve, which they present. Square-based methods, infinite control points, triangle-based methods, general circular arcs and rational cubic circles are some of the methods and types of circle discussed.< <ETX xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">&gt;</ETX>
