Description<br />

Another form of surface description is the triangular patch, also called a Bézier<br />

triangle. A triangular rational Bézier patch is defined as<br />

which differs from the Bézier curve description only by the use of bivariate<br />

Bernstein polynomials instead of univariate, for the curve case. The bivariate<br />

Bernstein polynomials of degree p are defined as<br />

which form a triangular domain in the parameter space, therefore the name of this<br />

surface description.<br />
