Abstract
Surfaces designed in a Computer graphics environment have many applications, including the design of cars, airplains, shipbodies and modeling robots. The generation of smooth surfaces from a set of three-dimensional data points is a key problem in the Geld of Computer Aided Geometric Design. An overview of fundamental triangular concepts is given and new results are presented.
