    The authors show that all rational hypo- and epicycloids have Pythagorean normals and therefore also have rational offsets. Based on this observation, an efficient algorithm for \(G^1\) Hermite interpolation with their arcs is constructed. For all regular data, there is a unique hypo- or epicycloidal arc of the given canonical type.
