Nurbs

A Library by Arnoud van der Leer for the Processing programming environment.
Last update, 03/17/2022.

The nurbs library is an implementation for Processing of Non-uniform Rational B-Splines. It implements regular nurbs curves, and nurbs surfaces.
It allows evaluating these curves and surfaces in a point and drawing them. In the future, it will have support for obtaining the direction of a curve in a point, the normal vector of a surface in a point and the curvature of a curve or surface in a point.
