  abstract =     "The well-known Chaikin algorithm generates uniform
                 quadratic B-spline curves by repeating the process of
                 cutting off the corners of a polygon. One disadvantage
                 of this algorithm is the incapability of generating
                 circles. This paper proposes a modification of this
                 algorithm to produce piecewise rational curves; in
                 particular a circle is produced from a given square.
                 For a general control polygon, every two subsequent
                 polygon legs of equal length will correspond to a
                 circular arc. Such an arc will be parameterized by arc
                 length and will remain circular under affine
                 transformations. Both properties are not shared by the
                 standard rational quadratic form.",
