fitCurves

Python implementation of Philip J. Schneider's "Algorithm for Automatically Fitting Digitized Curves" from the book "Graphics Gems"

Fit one or more cubic Bezier curves to a polyline.

This is a python implementation of Philip J. Schneider's C code. The original C code is available on http://graphicsgems.org/ as well as in https://github.com/erich666/GraphicsGems

Installation

The package should run on python 2 & 3.

To install, run:

python setup.py install

Numpy is required and will be automatically installed.

A small demo app is provided using Tkinter. It can be run like this:

python -m fitcurves

Left click to add points. Right click to remove points. The optimal spline will be computed on the fly and displayed as with the control points.
