Draw a bezier curve.



```js
bezierCurve(data: BezierData, sketch_group: SketchGroup, tag?: String) -> SketchGroup
```

### Examples

```js
const exampleSketch = startSketchOn('-XZ')
  |> startProfileAt([0, 0], %)
  |> line([0, 10], %)
  |> bezierCurve({
       to: [10, 10],
       control1: [5, 0],
       control2: [5, 10]
     }, %)
  |> lineTo([10, 0], %)
  |> close(%)

const example = extrude(10, exampleSketch)
```
