In this work, a new method for the layout of text strings over some given free-form parametric base curves are considered. Each letter of the string is represented by a collection of cubic and linear B?zier curves. The layout of the string over the free-form parametric curve is derived as a symbolic composition of the string geometry (i.e. a sequence of B?zier curves) and a free-form parametric surface S(u, v) with the parameters u, v between zero and one, and S(u, 0) is given by the base curve. This method has proven to provide great flexibility and give high quality results in layout of text.
Index Terms:
Composition, free-form parametric curves and surfaces, digital typography
