Computers Algorithms L120- miA mani- do ,.ewee fb of 10m"awar md ideifi by bJack nibev) 7J nvestigations have been made of many interesting problems deriving from the applications of discrete splines to the problems of computer aided geometric design. New theory and algorithms have been developed and support mechanisms based on the Oslo algorithm have been incorporated in order to help use the Coa~f geometry model directly to calculate many geometric attributes needed for the design process including surface rendering and intersections.
