calibration curve
List of: Glossary Items
Subjects: Blending
Contents: Glossary

In blending, a the calibration curve is used to calibrate the radius function of a variable-radius blend; i.e., to determine which radius value goes where. It is also used to parameterize the blend surface.

Because the calibration curve is sometimes used as a "defining curve," it is sometimes referred to by the term defining curve. However, in general terms, the calibration curve is not the same thing as a defining curve as defined in this glossary. See defining curve.
