The connections between curves and surfaces are defined as
follows:
Classification Description
G0 The curves or surfaces share a common end point or
edge. They are not tangent to one another as shown
below.
G1 The curves or surfaces are tangent to each other, share
a common end point or edge, and have differing
curvature magnitudes at their intersections, as shown
below.
G2 The curves or surfaces are tangent and have a
constant curvature at their shared end point or edge as
shown below. G2 continuity produces a smooth
connection. G2 continuity is usually only required for
surfaces in which light reflection is an issue.
