Composite Curves:
Let the problem of joining the curve segment (u), (0 ≤ u ≤ 1) with the curve segment . Generally we would like to ensure continuity of the curve, its slope and even the curvature. Thus, we have the conditions
where tis the common unit tangent and εi are parameters.
For curvature continuity, it specified
i.e.
This equation is satisfied by
here λ is an arbitrary scalar.
