Abstract
The research on developing planar curves to produce visually pleasing products and
modifying planar curves for special purposes has been progressing since the 1970s. The
pattern of research in this ¯eld of study has branched to ¯ve major groups; the devel-
opment of fairing algorithms; the development of planar curves via curve synthesis, the
development of algorithms to modify natural spirals to suit design intent, the modi¯cation
of °exible curves (B¶ezier and NURBS) so that the curvature pro¯le is strictly monotonic
and ¯nally, the development of algorithms to ¯t natural spirals and approximation via
°exible curves. A circle involute is a planar curve with high aesthetic value and it is
famous for gear teeth design.
