NURBS links

It is possible that the information contained in these pages does not quench your thirst of NURBS knowledge. It is also possible that my library does not meet your needs. Therefore, you can move on by going to one of the following places. But before doing this, I'd appreciate an e-mail telling me what is lacking in my library or on this web site.

Librairies / Code

• The Manchester NURBS library one of the first NURBS library on the web. I'm not really sure if it still maintained. It is written in C and now there is also an editor for it. The library is under a free software license.
• DT_NURBS is a library developped for military applications. The library is free but you'll need to register with them before you can get it.
• Snurbs is another C++ NURBS library. It offers a lot of NURBS manipulator and also has code for the approximation of scattered data points with Multilevel B-Spline Approximation. The documentation is in german and the library is LGPL.
• Someone's thesis used triangular B-Splines. It has C++ code for them and also some information on how they are used.

I will usually include any interesting algorithms from these libraries inside my own library. I'm also trying to create contacts between the different authors of NURBS related libraries, as long as they don't mind the terms of the LGPL.
