US8810579B2 - Method and apparatus for interactive curve generation - Google Patents
A system of curve generation takes a sequence of control points and constraint codes for each control point, and outputs a curve in which each of the constraints is satisfied. The set of constraints is chosen from the tangent angle, curvature, first derivative of curvature, and second derivative of curvature. The interactive curve design uses as its primitive, a curve whose curvature is a polynomial function of arclength (whose intrinsic equation is a polynomial). At each control point, a choice of G2 curvature continuity (tangent angle and curvature) or G4 curvature continuity (tangent angle and curvature plus first and second derivatives of curvature are continuous) is input. The desired curve is expressed as the solution to the chosen set of constraints.
Continuous curvature of smooth corners for UI Design / Máté Homolya / Observable
This method allows for applying smooth rounding to any polygon, while also keeping the curvature over the surface continuous. In UI design, this results in improved smooth surfaces compared to the abrupt beginning of the rounding when transitioning from a circular arc to a line segment with previous methods. In industrial design, this technique is often used for structural engineering, product design such as Apple's widely known squircles and many other applications.

Create tangent arcs between multiple circles in row - Grasshopper - McNeel Forum
tangent arcs to multiple circles.3dm (2.5 MB) tangent arcs to multiple circles.gh (20.1 KB) Hi, I’m trying to create tangent arcs between rows of circles but I have some problems right now. Since I have branches with even number of items and other with uneven number of items, my way of doing is not working properly. I suppose there must be an easier way to deal with this but I can’t find the solution. Is anybody can help me? Also I’ve another question, when I have all the arcs, what i...
