A display and distribution packaging unit for articles, especially articles such as eggs assembled into sales units, includes a separate packaging unit (10) embracing the articles or a unit of regularly arranged articles. This packaging unit (10), at least on the display side or sides facing the customer, reproduces a shape typical of that of the article or articles. The display packaging unit also includes a separate display panel (18) adapted to make the final package complete. This display panel (18) has at least one opening (20), through which a part of the packaging unit embracing at least one of the articles with its display side or part of same at least partly protrudes through and above the outside surface of the display panel (18). This display panel (18) in this display position can be connected to the packaging unit (10) embracing the article or articles.
A method for deforming a plurality of shapes is described wherein each of the shapes comprises a set of parametric curves. The method comprises: providing a parametric surface, and forming a deformed shape for each of the shapes by performing a symbolic composition between the parametric surface and each parametric curve from the set of parametric curves comprising the shape being deformed. The parametric surface is defined by two parameters varying over a parametric domain, such that each of the parametric curves comprising the shapes lies in the parametric domain of the surface.
