Abstract
We discuss methods of exercising local control over surfaces that are generated as solutions of partial differential equations (PDEs). By ex amining the way in which the choice of the PDE influences the form of the solution, we show how required properties of a surface may be real ised by using a suitably chosen equation. Also, we discuss the way in which a B-spline surface may be grafted on to the PDE surface to achie ve small scale changes.
