BezierInfo-2 VS glyphsLib

For the bezier you need 4 control points via a click, then evaluate using lerps (or basis functions). Start here https://pomax.github.io/bezierinfo/

Packing / bin-packing is very serious stuff: savings made there directly translate to less waste / reduced costs (for example when cutting shapes into sheets of metal in big factories).

And some beautiful graphs in there, notably those under section 26 "Curvature of a curve". Screenshot'ed for my own collection of good looking stuff!

A visual overview of commonly used creative coding related techniques and algorithms.

I wrote an openGL font renderer once, it was a lot of fun. Bezier curves are such an elegant technique. The difference between what I wrote and what you'd use in a proper environment is pretty big, but I recommend it sometime.

Fonts are pretty much just third or fourth degree beziers, iirc (i may have my terminology wrong). Try it out sometime, I did mine using tessellation shaders.

Btw, you'll never find a better guide on beziers than here:

Alternatively you can use the equation of a cubic Bézier curve to do the computations yourself. This website offers great explanations and examples of the math behind Bézier curves: https://pomax.github.io/bezierinfo/

Btw, for Bezier math this is a great resource: https://pomax.github.io/bezierinfo/

I already use glyphsLib, another googlefonts python3 library, to import .glyphs files and convert them to UFOv3 with the pyo3 crate (python3 bindings). It's very straightforward to do this stuff this way if there aren't rust crates that do what you want already
