	French curve - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		A French curve is a template made out of plastic, metal or wood composed of many different curves.
		The curve is placed on the drawing material, and a pencil, knife or other implement is traced around its curves to produced the desired result.
		French curves are not used as much now days because of todays modern vector drawing computer programs.

		These curves will be set in a world that represents all communities in Canada: from a 100% French speaking community (one Quebecois village for example) to a 100% English community (one British Colombia village for example).
		We consider that English and French have the same degree of difficulty for an immigrant whose mother tongue is not French neither English.
		Indeed, as long as those curves are asymmetrical, immigrants will have a tendency to learn English, and French speaking people to speak English (however in a few proportion, considering the inertia of switching from a language to another).

		The curves in the edges are supposed to be segments of logarithmic spirals (which ensures a kind of self-similarity on different scales).
		The end result was that the metal strip then defined a curve on the paper, and you could run a pencil along it and draw a curve on the paper (taking care not to press too hard against the metal, to avoid deforming the curve).
		By virtue of the laws of elasticity, the curve delineated by the metal strip had a continuous second derivative, i.e.

	The Bezier Curve
		Bézier curves are the basis of the entire Adobe PostScript drawing model which is used in the software products: Adobe Illustrator, Macromedia Freehand and Fontographer.
		If a control point is chosen farther away from a endpoint, (but in the same direction), then the Bézier curve will more closely approximate the tangent line near that endpoint.
		The construction of a Bézier curve using Bernstein polynomials is more appealing mathematically because the coefficients in the linear combination are just the coordinates of the given four points.

		If you don't do this, there's a good chance the ink will bleed under the triangle or curve and make a mess of your lines.

		I'm a little unclear on the concept, it seems like the bezier curve tool already does everything you describe, except store a commonly-used curve description (in the tool).
		But if you repeatedly use a given curve you can make a symbol or cut and paste it.
