We propose a unified method to visualize curvature on planar curves and surfaces of revolution using the tangential angle parameter. For plane curves, placing markers at equal increments of the tangential angle reveals local bending…

Multi-sided surfaces are often defined by side interpolants (also called ribbons), i.e. the surface has to connect to the ribbons with a prescribed degree of smoothness. The I-patch is such a family of implicit surfaces capable of…
