Abstract

We show how to compute in a straightforward manner the geometric characteristics of a conic segment in rational Bézier form, by employing complex arithmetic. For a central conic, a simple quadratic equation defines the foci location, and its solution furnishes not only an explicit formula for the foci, but also for the center, axis direction and linear eccentricity.
