BezierEditor 1.3
A simple program to create and edit curves based upon second-order Bezier splines more>>
BezierDraw 1.1.4
An application designed to help you produce geometrical designs for Christmas cards or other stuff. more>>
The emphasis of the BezierDraw project was on being able to manipulate the objects with a mouse, clone the objects easily, and produce radial symmetry about a centre point.
The original intent was to produce a monochrome wireframe display which could be printed at high resolution, and perhaps colored by hand after printing.
The word Bezier is used in the program title because almost all the drawing is done using Bezier curves, the only exception being the occasional ellipse. The Bezier curves are spliced together in various ways to produce the desired object.
These curves were chosen for two reasons: firstly, they are rendered extremely rapidly by the graphics engine, so it is possible to do live manipulation with a mouse; secondly, the standard vector graphics file formats such as SVG have full support for them.
Since Bezier curves were used, the resulting shapes are not absolutely true hyperbolas or trochoids; however, in most cases you would be hard-pressed to tell the difference.
The program is written in Visual Basic 6, and has no special installation procedures.
Main features:
- Library of objects expanded to include some of the more complex closed-form shapes like cardioids and trochoids.
- Support for a coloring operation which operates like a floodfill in a bitmap, with a color-picker.
- Support for a zoom feature, for more precise positioning of objects.
- Support for SVG output, to make it more web-compatible.
- The corollary to SVG output is that color-filling can be done using other programs, such as Inkscape, which use a completely different set of rules for filling objects: totally vector-based, not bitmap-based.
System requirements:
- You must set the color depth of your monitor to be 24-bit or higher, sometimes called True Color

A dynamic geometry application written that allows creation of geometric shapes and transforms (rotation, symmetry) more>> A dynamic geometry application written that allows creation of geometric shapes and transforms (rotation, symmetry)
Euclide is a dynamic geometry creation application written in Java.
Euclide allows creation of geometric shapes and transforms (rotation, symmetry...), which depend each other. Moving a shape will also move shapes dependent on it.
In Euclide you start by placing some free points, then you create objects using these points: lines, circles, line segment, circle arcs... each new figure can in turn be used to compose new shapes.
Main features:
Creation of shapes
Various shapes can be created from selecting other geometrical objects (shapes, measures, transforms), or by specifying manually value for position, radius... When a shape need a new point, the user clic on a point of the figure, or on the location of a new free point, which will be created in the same time as the new shape. Here is a list of available shapes:
Points:
- Free point
- Intersection point of a curve and a line
- Point on a curve (closest point to another point)
- Point on a curve (with a defined geodesic position)
- Centroid of several point
- Transformed point (by any planar transform)
Linear objects:
- Line segments (from 2 points)
- Straight lines: From 2 points, Parallel to a line through a point, Orthogonal to a line through a point, Median of 2 points, Radical axis of 2 circle
- Line arcs (from 2 points, bisectors, reflexion of a ray on a curve...)
- Polyline (from a series of points)
Circles
- From center and a point belonging to the circle
- From center and radius (given as distance measure)
- From 2 diameter points
- From 3 points on the circle
Circle Arcs
- Circle arc from 3 points
- Circle arc from 3 points, with specific orientation
Curves
- Bezier curve from 4 points
- Composition of several curves
Measures on shapes
Distance/length measure
- Closest distance of a point to a shape
- Radius of a circle
Signed distance measure
Angle measure
- Signed angle between 3 points
- Horizontal angle of a line or a linear object
- Horizontal angle of 2 points
Counting measures
Transforms
- Translation by the vector joining 2 points
- Rotation around a point with a given angle
- Line symetry
- Point symetry
- Circle inversion
System requirements:
- Java Runtime Environment
Enhancements:
- Layers can be deleted, and order changed
- New documents can be created
- Shapes can now be deleted, with all objects depending on them
- Added a text over mouse cursor to help identify current selected shape

3 points - Circle arc from 3 points, with specific orientation Curves - Bezier curve from 4 points - Composition of several curves Measures on shapes Distance/length measure - Closest distanceSwfBannerMaker 1.0
SwfBannerMaker - editor of vector graphics like a Flash. It save result in the swf-file. more>>
SwfBannerMaker is a little program, but it has many basical possibilities for drawing of animation:
you can draw circles, rectangles or use a pencil;
you can edit the shapes by moving of the control points of cubic Bezier curves;
you can insert jpg-files and text;
SwfBannerMaker has a simple timeline, that allows to create motion and shape tween;
how to use motion and shape tween:
if you do not change shape it is motion tween ( only scaling and rotation )
if you change shape it is shape tween
The order of shapes in begin frame and in the end frame of motion and shape tween must be the same (I mean the depth)
Each new shape has a maximal depth in the keyframe + 2, but you can change it in menu of tools (and press Enter)
Each layer has a depth 100
HowTo make animation:
in the timeline insert keyframe by clicking the right key of the mouse in the frame you desire and choose "insert keyframe";
if this is the last frame than make it two times
than in the first frame of the animation click the right key of the mouse and choose "motion tween"
now just move the shapes in the keyframes or change the shape (shapetween)
If you want to use swf-file as a banner you must enter url in the Options->swfoptions. There you can change background color, sizes and rate(frame/sec) of movie.
To save the movie just press file->export to swf
