There are two types of Bezier curves:
- Bezier curves (http://blogs.sitepointstatic.com/examples/tech/svg-curves/cubic-curve.html)
- Quadratic Bezier curves (http://math.hws.edu/eck/cs424/notes2013/canvas/bezier.html)
Each curve is made up of four points:
- Start point
- End point
- Starting control point
- Ending control point
The start/end points are where the curve starts and ends. The control points define the shape of the curve. It's easiest to conceptualize it with the following diagram:
As we manipulate the control points, we can see how the shape of the curve is affected:
You can even join multiple Bezier curves together, ...
