  2. Bresenham's line algorithm - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bresenham's_line_algorithm

    It is commonly used to draw line primitives in a bitmap image (e.g. on a computer screen), as it uses only integer addition, subtraction, and bit shifting, all of which are very cheap operations in historically common computer architectures.

  3. Spline (mathematics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spline_(mathematics)

    The next most simple spline has degree 1. It is also called a linear spline. A closed linear spline (i.e, the first knot and the last are the same) in the plane is just a polygon. A common spline is the natural cubic spline. A cubic spline has degree 3 with continuity C 2, i.e. the values and first and second derivatives are continuous. Natural ...

  5. Linear motion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linear_motion

    In linear motion, the directions of all the vectors describing the system are equal and constant which means the objects move along the same axis and do not change direction. The analysis of such systems may therefore be simplified by neglecting the direction components of the vectors involved and dealing only with the magnitude. [2]

  6. Non-uniform rational B-spline - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Non-uniform_rational_B-spline

    The shape could be adjusted by moving the ducks. [2] [3] In 1946, mathematicians started studying the spline shape, and derived the piecewise polynomial formula known as the spline curve or spline function. I. J. Schoenberg gave the spline function its name after its resemblance to the mechanical spline used by draftsmen. [4]

  7. Help:Magic words - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Help:Magic_words

    Magic words (including parser functions, variables and behavior switches) are features of wiki markup that give instructions to Wikipedia's underlying MediaWiki software. For example, magic words can suppress or position the table of contents, disable indexing by external search engines, and produce output dynamically based on the current page or on user-defined conditional logic.

  8. Partition of unity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Partition_of_unity

    In mathematics, a partition of unity of a topological space ⁠ ⁠ is a set ⁠ ⁠ of continuous functions from ⁠ ⁠ to the unit interval [0,1] such that for every point : there is a neighbourhood of ⁠ x {\displaystyle x} ⁠ where all but a finite number of the functions of ⁠ R {\displaystyle R} ⁠ are 0, and

  9. Bézier surface - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bézier_surface

    Generally, the most common use of Bézier surfaces is as nets of bicubic patches (where m = n = 3). The geometry of a single bicubic patch is thus completely defined by a set of 16 control points. These are typically linked up to form a B-spline surface in a similar way as Bézier curves are linked up to form a B-spline curve.
