| contents | We propose a unified method to visualize curvature on planar curves and surfaces of revolution using the tangential angle parameter. For plane curves, placing markers at equal increments of the tangential angle reveals local bending features and naturally highlights inflection points and vertices. This approach extends to surfaces of revolution, where curvature lines drawn at equal tangential angle steps reflect principal curvature variations and naturally expose ridge and parabolic curves. Our method provides clear, consistent visualizations without arbitrary parameter tuning, offering geometric insight for both analysis and design applications. |
