Abstract

We show that all so-called C-curves are affine images of trochoids or sine curves and use this relation to investigate the occurrence of inflection points, cusps, and loops. The results are summarized in a shape diagram of C-Bézier curves, which is useful when using C-Bézier curves for curve and surface modeling.
