//! An algorithm to convert a BSpline curve into a series

//! A BSplineCurveToBezierCurve object provides a framework for:
//! -   defining the BSpline curve to be converted
//! -   implementing the construction algorithm, and
//! -   consulting the results.

  //! The result consists of a series of BasisCurve arcs
  //! limited by points corresponding to knot values of the curve.
  //! Use the available interrogation functions to ascertain
  //! the number of computed Bezier arcs, and then to
  //! construct each individual Bezier curve (or all Bezier curves).
