double ON_EvaluateBernsteinBasis(int degree, int i, double t)
/*****************************************************************************
Evaluate Bernstein basis polynomial

INPUT:
  degree
    If degree < 0, then 0.0 is returned.
  i
    If i < 0 or i > degree, then 0.0 is returned.
  t 
    The formula for the Bernstein polynomial is valid
    for all values of t.
OUTPUT:
  TL_EvBernsteinBasis()

         degree!
     ---------------- * (1-t)^(degree-i) * t^i, if 0 <= i <= degree
     (degree-i)! * i!

     0, otherwise.

  (In this function, 0^0 is treated as 1.)
COMMENTS:
  Below, B(d,i,t) is used to denote the i-th Bernstein basis polynomial of 
  degree d; i.e., B(d,i,t) = TL_EvBernsteinBasis(d,i,t).

  When degree <= 4, TL_EvBernsteinBasis() computes the value directly. 
  When 4 < degree < 9, the value is computed recursively using the formula

    B(d,i,t) = t*B(d-1,i-1,t) + (1-t)*B(d-1,i,t).

  For 9 <= degree, the value is computed using the formula

    B(d,i,t) = TL_EvBinomial(degree-i,i)
               *((degree==i) ? 1.0 : pow(1.0-t,(double)(degree-i)))
               *((i)         ? pow(t,(double)i) : 1.0);

  The value of a degree d Bezier at t with control vertices
  {P_0, ..., P_d} is equal to B(d,0,t)*P_0 + ... + B(d,d,t)*P_d.   
  Numerically, this formula is inefficient and unstable.  The
  de Casteljau algorithm used in TL_EvdeCasteljau() is faster
  and more stable.

EXAMPLE:
  // Use TL_EvBernsteinBasis() to evaluate a 3 dimensional
  // non-rational cubic Bezier at 1/4.

  double cv[4][3], t, B[4], answer[3];
  int    i, j, degree;

  degree = 3;
  t = 0.25;
  answer[0] = answer[1] = answer[2] = 0.0;
  for (i = 0; i <= degree; i++)
    cv[i] = something;
  for (i = 0; i <=degree; i++) {
    B[i] = TL_EvBernsteinBasis(degree,i,t);
    for (j = 0; j < 3; j++)
      answer[j] += B[i]*cv[i][j];

void ON_EvaluatedeCasteljau(int dim, int order, int side, int cv_stride, double* cv, double t)
/*****************************************************************************
Evaluate a Bezier using the de Casteljau algorithm

INPUT:
  dim    ( >= 1)
  order  ( >= 2)
  side   <= 0  return left side of bezier in cv array
         >  0  return right side of bezier in cv array
  cv     array of order*cv_stride doubles that specify the Bezier's control
         vertices.
  cv_stride ( >= dim) number of doubles between cv's (typically a multiple of dim).
  t      If side <= 0, then t must be > 0.0.
         If side >  0, then t must be < 1.0.
OUTPUT:
  cv
         If side <= 0, the input cv's are replaced with the cv's for
         the bezier trimmed/extended to [0,t].  In particular,
         {cv[(order-1)*cv_stride], ..., cv[order*cv_stride - 1]} is the value of 
         the Bezier at t.
         If side > 0, the input cv's are replaced with the cv's for
         the Bezier trimmed/extended to [t,1].  In particular,
         {cv[0], ..., cv[dim-1]} is the value of the Bezier at t.
COMMENTS:
  Set C[i,j] = {cv[j*cv_stride], ..., cv[(j+1)*cv_stride-1]}, if i = 0
                (1-t)*C[i-1,j-1] + t*C[i-1,j], if 0 < i <= d = degree

  The collection of C[i,j]'s is typically drawn in a triangular array:

  C[0,0]
           C[1,1]
  C[0,1]              C[2,2]
           C[1,2]             ...
  C[0,2]
       
  ...                                  C[d,d]
                              ...
  C[0,d-1]            C[2,d]
           C[1,d]
  C[0,d]
      
  The value of the Bezier at t is equal to C[d,d].
      
  When side < 0, the input cv's are replaced with
          C[0,0], C[1,2], ..., C[d,d].  
  If the output cv's are used as control vertices for a Bezier, 
  then output_bezier(s) = input_bezier(t*s).
      
  When side >= 0, the input cv's are replace with
          C[d,d], C[d-1,d], ..., C[0,d].
  If the output cv's are used as control vertices for a Bezier, 
  then output_bezier(s) = input_bezier((1-s)*t + s).

  If a Bezier is going to be evaluated more than a few times, it is
  faster to convert the Bezier to power basis and evaluate using
  TL_EvHorner.  However, Horner's algorithm is not a stable as
  de Casteljau's.
EXAMPLE:
  // Use TL_EvdeCasteljau() to trim/extend a Bezier
  // to the interval [t0,t1], where t0 < t1

  double cv[order][dim], t0, t1

  cv = whatever;
  if (1.0 - t0 > t1) {
    // first trim at t0, then trim at t1
    if (t0 != 0.0) TL_EvdeCasteljau(dim,order, 1,cv,dim,t0); 
    t1 = (t1-t0)/(1.0 - t0); // adjust t1 to new domain
    if (t1 != 1.0) TL_EvdeCasteljau(dim,order,-1,cv,dim,t1);
  }
  else {
    // first trim at t1, then trim at t0
    if (t1 != 1.0) TL_EvdeCasteljau(dim,order,-1,cv,dim,t1);
    t0 /= t1; // adjust t0 to new domain
    if (t0 != 0.0) TL_EvdeCasteljau(dim,order, 1,cv,dim,t0);

INPUT:
  order >= 1 
    d = degree = order - 1
  knot[]
    array of length 2*d.  
    Generally, knot[0] <= ... <= knot[d-1] < knot[d] <= ... <= knot[2*d-1].
  N[]
    array of length order*order

OUTPUT:
  If "N" were declared as double N[order][order], then

                 k
    N[d-k][i] = N (t) = value of i-th degree k basis function.
                 i
  where 0 <= k <= d and k <= i <= d.

        In particular, N[0], ..., N[d] - values of degree d basis functions.
  The "lower left" triangle is not initialized.

  Actually, the above is true when knot[d-1] <= t < knot[d].  Otherwise, the
  value returned is the value of the polynomial that agrees with N_i^k on the
  half open domain [ knot[d-1], knot[d] )

COMMENTS:
  If a degree d NURBS has n control points, then the TL knot vector has
  length d+n-1. ( Most literature, including DeBoor and The NURBS Book,
  duplicate the TL start and end knot and have knot vectors of length
  d+n+1. )
  
  Assume C is a B-spline of degree d (order=d+1) with n control vertices
  (n>=d+1) and knot[] is its knot vector.  Then

    C(t) = Sum( 0 <= i < n, N_{i}(t) * C_{i} )

  where N_{i} are the degree d b-spline basis functions and C_{i} are the control
  vertices.  The knot[] array length d+n-1 and satisfies

    knot[0] <= ... <= knot[d-1] < knot[d]
    knot[n-2] < knot[n-1] <= ... <= knot[n+d-2]
    knot[i] < knot[d+i] for 0 <= i < n-1
    knot[i] <= knot[i+1] for 0 <= i < n+d-2

  The domain of C is [ knot[d-1], knot[n-1] ].

  The support of N_{i} is [ knot[i-1], knot[i+d] ).

  If d-1 <= k < n-1 and knot[k] <= t < knot[k+1], then 
  N_{i}(t) = 0 if i <= k-d
           = 0 if i >= k+2
           = B[i-k+d-1] if k-d+1 <= i <= k+1, where B[] is computed by the call
             TL_EvNurbBasis( d+1, knot+k-d+1, t, B );

  If 0 <= j < n-d, 0 <= m <= d, knot[j+d-1] <= t < knot[j+d], and B[] is 
  computed by the call

    TL_EvNurbBasis( d+1, knot+j, t, B ),

  then 

    N_{j+m}(t) = B[m].

 *   cv
 *      array of order*cv_dim doubles that specify the B-spline span's

 *      In particular, {cv[(order-1)*cv_dim], ..., cv[order*cv_dim - 1]}
 *      is the value of the B-spline at t.

 *      In particular, {cv[0], ..., cv[cv_dim-1]} is the value of the B-spline
 *      at t.
 *
 *      NOTE WELL: The input knot vector is NOT modified.  If you want to
 *                 use the returned control points with the input knot vector,
 *                 then it is your responsibility to set

 *                 See the comments concering +/- 2 values of the "side"
 *                 argument.  In most cases, you can avoid resetting knots

 *
 * COMMENTS:
 *
 *   This function is the single most important NURB curve function in the
 *   TL library.  It is used to evaluate, trim, split and extend NURB curves.
 *   It is used to convert portions of NURB curves to Beziers and to create
 *   fully multiple end knots.  The functions that perform the above tasks
 *   simply call this function with appropriate values and take linear
 *   combonations of the returned cv's to compute the desired result.
 *
 *   Rational cases are handled adding one to the dimension and applying the
 *   quotient rule as needed.
 *
 *   Set a[i,j] = (t-knots[i+j-1])/(knots[i+j+order-2] - knots[i+j-1])
 *   Set D[i,j] = {cv[j*cv_dim], ..., cv[(j+1)*cv_dim-1]}, if i = 0
 *                (1-a[i,j])*D[i-1,j-1] + a[i,j]*D[i-1,j], if 0 < i <= d = degree
 * 
 *   The collection of D[i,j]'s is typically drawn in a triangular array:
 *
 *   D[0,0]
 *            D[1,1]
 *   D[0,1]              D[2,2]
 *            D[1,2]             ...
 *   D[0,2]
 *  
 *   ...                                  D[d,d]
 *                               ...
 *   D[0,d-1]            D[2,d]
 *            D[1,d]
 *   D[0,d]
 *
 *   When side <= 0, the input cv's are replaced with
 *   D[0,0], D[1,2], ..., D[d,d].
 *
 *   When side >  0, the input cv's are replace with
 *   D[d,d], D[d-1,d], ..., D[0,d].

 * COMMENTS:
 *   If you want to convert the entire

 *
 *   If you want to extend the left end of the span a bit,

 *
 *   If you want to extend the right end of the span a bit,
 *   set t0 = knots[order-2] and t1 = knots[order-1] + a_bit.
