  This definition is a special type of curve which can be represented as a type of B-spline curve 
  in which the knots are evenly spaced and have high multiplicities. Suitable default values for the knots and knot multiplicities are derived in this case.
  
  A B-spline curve is a piecewise Bezier curve if it is quasi-uniform except that the interior knots have multiplicity degree rather than having multiplicity one. 
  In this subtype the knot spacing is 1.0, starting at 0.0. A piecewise Bezier curve which has only two knots, 
  0.0 and 1.0, each of multiplicity (degree+1), is a simple Bezier curve.
