Abstract
A method, system, and computer-readable storage medium are disclosed for rendering Bézier curves using a graphics processing unit (GPU). In one embodiment, a respective set of barycentric coordinates may be assigned to each of the three vertices of a triangle. The triangle may comprise a control triangle for a quadratic Bézier curve, and the quadratic Bézier curve may be a rational quadratic Bézier curve. Each set of barycentric coordinates may comprise three values such as (1,0,0), (0,1,0) or (0,0,1). In one embodiment, the quadratic Bézier curve may be rendered using the GPU. Rendering the quadratic Bézier curve may comprise evaluating a function of the barycentric coordinates using the GPU.
