Polygon chains are piece wise linear curves, that are used as approximations of<br />

curves in the decomposition algorithm. They have an implicit parameter<br />

representation, that is (( i–<br />

1) §( p – 1)<br />

, i§<br />

( p–<br />

1)]<br />

on the ith interval in a polygon<br />

chain with p points. This is not a very suitable representation since the derivatives<br />

may vary substantially along the curve.<br />
