libspiro - A clothoid to bezier spline converter

#include <spiroentrypoints.h> and then compile and link with -lspiro

Spiro library for curve design which simplifies drawing of beautiful curves.

libspiro takes an array of spiro control points which can be easier for an artist to create and modify, and then converts these into a series of bezier splines which can then be used in the myriad of ways the world has come to use beziers.

spiroentrypoints.h has technical information on how to connect with libspiro and further information can be found at http://github.com/fontforge/libspiro
