| Geometric continuity of the first degree; i.e., the direction of the tangent vector is continuous. The tangent of a curve at a parameter value is a vector. Two curves are G1 continuous at that point if the directions of the vectors are the same, but the magnitude differ. G1 continuity is where tangent lines are smoothly connected. | |||||
