 NURBS-Python (geomdl) is an object-oriented B-Spline and NURBS surface and curve library for Python with
-implementations of advanced computation algorithms in an extensible way.
-It comes with on-the-fly shape visualization options, knot vector and surface grid generators, and more.
+implementations of advanced computation algorithms in an extensible way. It comes with various features, such as
+on-the-fly visualization options, knot vector and surface grid generators, tessellation, voxelization and more.
 
 NURBS-Python is a pure Python library, therefore there are no external C/C++ or FORTRAN dependencies or any compilation

+is self-contained; and therefore, it can be easily used with systems using embedded Python.
