## libspiro-20200505 – simplifies the drawing of beautiful curves

## Description

    Spiro is the creation of Raph Levien. It simplifies the drawing of
    beautiful curves.

    Using bezier splines an artist can easily draw curves with the same
    slope on either side of an on-curve point. Spiros, on the other hand,
    are based on clothoid splines which make it easy to maintain constant
    curvature as well as constant slope. Such curves will simply look nicer.

    Spiro splines only use on-curve points and so are easier to use and more
    intuitive to the artist.

    This library will take an array of spiro control points and convert them
    into a series of bezier splines which can then be used in the myriad of
    ways the world has come to use beziers.
