Let K be a planar convex body af area |K|, and take 0 < α < 1. An α-section of K is a line cutting K into two parts, one of which has area α|K|. This article presents a systematic study of the envelope of α-sections and its dependence on α. Several open questions are asked, one of them in relation to a problem of fair partitioning.
