Description
Summary:An level-line tracing algorithm, recently developed by the authors is used for Bézier surface interrogation. Namely, for Bézier triangular patches the algorithm is modified so as to trace the lines of constant Gaussian and mean curvature. The map of these lines can be used for better understanding the shape of these patches. The efficacy of the method is illustrated through several examples.
