A computer implemented method and apparatus for reproducing an input curve on a mobile device comprising detecting the input curve, sampling the input curve into a discrete set of vertices, performing a normalized dot product of an edge leading into each one of the discrete set of vertices and a tangent to an edge leading from each one of the discrete set of vertices, setting one or more spline stiffness parameter based on the normalized dot product corresponding to each vertex; and converting the sampled input curve into one or more spline patch with the set spline stiffness parameter corresponding to each vertex.
