| Bezier curve
Named for the French mathematician
Pierre Bézier, a Bezier curve is a curved line defined by mathematical
formulas. There are at least three points used to define the curve: the
two endpoints of the curve are called the anchor points, while the other
point or points, which define the actual curvature, are called handles (or
sometimes tangent points or nodes). Moving the handles lets you modify the
shape of the curve. |
