ab: An algorithm is presented that approximates: a) a high degree spline curve
    by one of lower degree and with more segments, or b) a low degree
    spline curve by one of higher degree but with more pieces. The
    curvature of the approximations is studied. The method involved
    concepts of geometric continuity.
