  abstract = {Traditional interactive drawing programs adopt a bottom-up
              approach, allowing the user to construct a picture by the use of
              discrete tools, for example, lines, circles, rectangles, and so
              on. This paper presents a different approach, which allows users
              to construct graphical objects by stretching and cutting existing
              objects. The representation is simply implemented, based on a ring
              of cubic Bezier curves, and use of the de Casteljau algorithm.},
