👉 In the context of computer graphics, dewlaps are a type of discrete curve in the X and Y plane. They are often used for rendering smooth surfaces, such as water or clouds, by smoothing out the edges of the curves to create an illusion of depth. Dewlaps can be defined by defining them using a parametric equation with two variables (x and y) that describe their position relative to each other. The equations for dewlaps are given in terms of the derivative of a function,
