/** @brief Symmetric power basis curve.
*
* Symmetric power basis (S-basis for short) polynomials are a versatile numeric
* representation of arbitrary continuous curves. They are the main representation of curves
* in 2Geom.
*
* S-basis is defined for odd degrees and composed of the following polynomials:
* \f{align*}{
P_k^0(t) &= t^k (1-t)^{k+1} \\
P_k^1(t) &= t^{k+1} (1-t)^k \f}
* This can be understood more easily with the help of the chart below. Each square
* represents a product of a specific number of \f$t\f$ and \f$(1-t)\f$ terms. Red dots
* are the canonical (monomial) basis, the green dots are the Bezier basis, and the blue
* dots are the S-basis, all of them of degree 7.
*
* @image html sbasis.png "Illustration of the monomial, Bezier and symmetric power bases"
*
* The S-Basis has several important properties:
* - S-basis polynomials are closed under multiplication.
* - Evaluation is fast, using a modified Horner scheme.
* - Degree change is as trivial as in the monomial basis. To elevate, just add extra
* zero coefficients. To reduce the degree, truncate the terms in the highest powers.
* Compare this with Bezier curves, where degree change is complicated.
* - Conversion between S-basis and Bezier basis is numerically stable.
*
* More in-depth information can be found in the following paper:
* J Sanchez-Reyes, "The symmetric analogue of the polynomial power basis".
* ACM Transactions on Graphics, Vol. 16, No. 3, July 1997, pages 319--357.
