Marc Posted December 2, 2002 Share Posted December 2, 2002 Does anyone know some decent ways of drawing complex curves like parabolas, cycloids, etc. Any help would be really appreciated. m Quote Link to comment
Guest Posted December 2, 2002 Share Posted December 2, 2002 It is probably going to be difficult to draw a perfect parabolic curve. The polyline tool allows you to draw a curved line by bezier control point, cubic spline point and by arc point. Quote Link to comment
TiTaNiuM sAMuRai Posted December 2, 2002 Share Posted December 2, 2002 Plot three or more points, use cubic spline smoothing, and you'll get a cubic semi-parabola. Try a NURBS curve using known values on your parabolic curve. The NURBS should do a mathematically accurate job of connect-the-dots, provided that you give it some dots to follow.
