Mike, If you just need a row-reduced-echelon conversion for fitting bezier curves through a series of points, don't go that way! It works, but it's not even close to computationally efficient. I've attached a chapter of notes provided by Tom Sederberg at BYU, a world expert on splines. There's a trivially simple way to get a 3rd order bezier to go through 4 control points, through the use of Lagrange Interpolation. The Lagrange Polynomials that are used are independent of the control points. See Section 6.2 of the attached chapter. HTH, Carl P.S. If you have more stuff you want to do with Beziers, give me a shout. I've taken Dr. Sederberg's class, so I'm somewhat aware of clever tricks with splines. That's where my bezier stuff came from earlier. _______________________________________________ lilypond-devel mailing list lilypond-devel@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-devel
