Article Fulltext (PDF), pp. 1–7

On selected polygon of control points we create Bézier curve. This we differentiate using a direct derivation of the polygon and receive hodograph of a new Bézier curve. The process is repeated for the second derivation, and these results are compared with numerical derivation of the parametric specified curve.

Keywords: tangent curve, hodograph, numerical derivation
