| Hi Shaun, I have written a program called lsynth, which does many bendable things like: flex-system hoses, pneumatic hoses, flexibe axles, ribbed hose, electric and fiber optic cables. The program is called LSynth and is available (URL) I'm also (...) (22 years ago, 30-Dec-02, to lugnet.cad, lugnet.cad.mlcad)

| (...) This sounds like a shortcut in the algorithm. If the bezier function is f(t), it does not have the property that |f(t) - f(t+d)| = c for all t, d given. I've corrected for this in my algorithm by using some simple optimization to find a (...) (22 years ago, 28-Dec-02, to lugnet.cad.mlcad)
