Abstract
We present a method for computing the domain, where a control point is free to move so that the corresponding spatial curve is regular and of constant sign of torsion along a subinterval of its parametric domain of definition. The approach encompasses all curve representations that adopt the control-point paradigm and is illustrated for a spatial Bézier curve.
