BEZIER_SURFACE
Routines for Bezier Surface Information

BEZIER_SURFACE is a FORTRAN90 library which reads, writes, prints, and otherwise manipulates the data that defines a Bezier surface.

Languages:

BEZIER_SURFACE is available in a FORTRAN90 version and a MATLAB version.

Related Data and Programs:

BEZIER_SURFACE, a data directory which contains a description and examples of the Bezier Surface file format.

BEZIER_SURFACE_DISPLAY, a MATLAB program which reads a pair of Bezier Surface data files and display the surface.

TABLE, a data format which is used for both the node and rectangle files.
