Example 1

A cubic Bezier curve is described by the four control points: (0,0),


(2,1), (5,2), (6,1). Find the tangent to the curve at t = 0.5.

Solution
We will use the Bezier cubic polynomial, which is,

Where,
V0 = (0,0)
V1 = (2,1)
V2 = (5,2)
V3 = (6,1)
The tangent is given by the derivative of the general equation above,

At t = 0.5, we get,
