- Assume one has an arbitrary 2d cubic bezier in xy space, defined by
- four control points, and an arbitrary line defined as y = ax+b.
- Further assume that it is known that the line crosses the curve at
- least once. Can any kind soul point me to a fast algorithm for
- finding the point(s) of intersection?
