Geometric continuity of parametric curves: three equivalent characterizations

Some of the important basic results on geometric continuity of curves are presented in a self-contained manner. The paper covers parametric representation and smoothness, parametric continuity, reparameterization and equivalent parameterization, beta-constraints, and arc-length parameterization.<<ETX>>
