Fair cubic transition between two circles with one circle inside or tangent to the other
Abstract
This paper describes a method for joining two circles with a C-shaped and an S-shaped transition curve, composed of a cubic Bézier segment. As an extension of our previous work; we show that a single cubic curve can be used for blending or for a transition curve preserving G 2 continuity regardless of the distance of their centers and magnitudes of the radii which is an advantage. Our method with shape parameter provides freedom to modify the shape in a stable manner.
