Xach has released version 1.2.1 of Vecto, featuring circle arc paths, and I’m sure a whole lot more on the drawing board.

Experimenting with (cubic) Bézier subdivision
As you know, a Bézier curve (here meaning specifically a cubic Bézier) is often used for drawing all kinds of things in vector graphics. It has the nice property that the endpoints and control points form a bounding box, and deCasteljau’s algorithm is a nice numerically stable way of evaluating…
On ellipses
Having conquered equidistant spacing along a Bézier curve, my thoughts now turn to the same problem for an ellipse. I have solved the problem for a circle of course, which is a special case of an ellipse. One would think that going from a circle to an ellipse would be…
Profiling with SBCL
My Bézier curve code was not optimal, so I decided to learn how to profile with SBCL. In particular, I was not yet doing a binary search of the sampled points, neither was I doing an interpolation to recover the parameter t. Finally, I was sampling the curve at a…
