Description

ControlPointArray

Point[ ]

The set of the Bezier curve's control points from an array of between 1 to 4 input points.  See Remarks below for more information. 

Degree

int

The degree of the Bezier curve. For third degree Beziers, this is always 3.

 

Remarks

 

A Bezier curve starts at control point 0 and ends at control point 3.  Control points 0 and 1 define the tangent at the from point and control points 2 and 3 define the tangent at the to point.  The length of these tangent lines and position of the control points determines the shape of the curve.
