title: Second Order Curves on Computer Screen
abstract: Modern computer graphics is based on methods of computational geometry. The curves and surfaces’ description is based on apparatus of spline functions, which became the main tool for geometric modeling. Methods of projective geometry are almost not applying. One of the reasons for this is impossibility to exactly construct a second-order curve passing through given points and tangent to given straight lines. To eliminate this defect a computer program for second order curves construction has bee
