Polygons with Bezier Curves

[sebs]

(Not sure if it is the right category, if not, mod please move to the right one, thanks)

Hey all,

I am working on parsing EPS (I know, not easy) and I got it mostly working, except when it comes to shapes inside of other shapes and whether they need to be colored or punched out.

My current issue is trying to determine whether two polygons intersect when both polygons are convex and made out of lines and bezier curves. Does anyone have some clues on which formulas I should be looking into?

Also, I am, not sure what kind other boards can help me with this, perhaps if you could suggest a good place that would help.

Thanks a lot in advance for your help!

As I see it, portions of or whole polygons cannot be made out of
Bezier curves, unless they are the trivial linear "curves" to form
line segments, as the perimeters of polygons in Euclidean 2-space
and 3-space are made up of only (straight) line segments.

I mostly don't know what they are, and I have never heard about
them before your post. I read a little about them on a few sites.
