Degree elevation

A Bézier ambit of amount n can be adapted into a Bézier ambit of amount n + 1 with the aforementioned shape. This is advantageous if software supports Bézier curves alone of specific degree. For example, you can draw a boxlike Bézier ambit with Cairo, which supports alone cubic Bézier curves.

To do amount elevation, we use the adequation . Each basic is assorted by (1 − t) or t, appropriately accretion a amount by one. Here is the archetype of accretion amount from 2 to 3.

For approximate n we use equalities

introducing approximate and .
