Parallel curve

（重定向自Parallel curves）

Inner and outer parallel curves to a parametric cubic spline loop.

Animation of the construction of the parallel curves : ellipse (red), evolute (astroid, blue) and animation of parallel curves in black.

A parallel of a curve is the envelope of a family of congruent circles centered on the curve. It generalises the concept of parallel lines. It can also be defined as a curve whose points are at a fixed normal distance from a given curve. These two definitions are not entirely equivalent as the latter assumes smoothness, whereas the former does not.
