Normalized local curvature as a function of curvilinear position along the ray. The red curve shows an example of ‘localized morphing’ where the deformations are concentrated near the base of the ray, which is not desirable. The green curve is an example of ‘distributed morphing’ where curvature from morphing is better distributed along the length of the ray.
