-In much of the literature it is taken as trivial that it is only necessary to specify the control points of a B{\'e}zier in order to be able to render it at any level of detail\cite{knuth1983metafont, computergraphics2}. Recently, Goldman presented an argument that B{\'e}zier's could be considered as fractal in nature, because the De Casteljau algorithm may be modified to be expressed the polynomial $P(t)$ as the result of iterated function system\cite{goldman_thefractal}. If this argument is correct, any primitive that can be described soley in terms of B{\'e}zier Curves may also be considered as fractal in nature. Ideally all these primitives may be rendered at any level of detail or ``zoom'' desired; however, computation of the pixel locations of the curve will be subject to the precision limits of the numerical representation which is used; we discuss these issues in Section \ref{Num}.
