bezierCurve	Function in std::sketch	Draw a smooth, continuous, curved line segment from the current origin to the desired (x, y), using a number of control points to shape the curve's shape.	manual

Draw a smooth, continuous, curved line segment from the current origin to the desired (x, y), using a number of control points to shape the curve's shape.

Arguments

Name	Type	Description	Required
sketch	Sketch	Which sketch should this path be added to?	Yes
control1	Point2d	First control point for the cubic.	No
control2	Point2d	Second control point for the cubic.	No
end	Point2d	How far away (along the X and Y axes) should this line go?	No
control1Absolute	Point2d	First control point for the cubic. Absolute point.	No
control2Absolute	Point2d	Second control point for the cubic. Absolute point.	No
endAbsolute	Point2d	Coordinate on the plane at which this line should end.	No
tag	TagDecl	Create a new tag which refers to this line.	No

Returns

Sketch - A sketch is a collection of paths.

Examples

// Example using relative control points.
exampleSketch = startSketchOn(XZ)
  |> startProfile(at = [0, 0])
  |> line(end = [0, 10])
  |> bezierCurve(control1 = [5, 0], control2 = [5, 10], end = [10, 10])
  |> line(endAbsolute = [10, 0])
  |> close()

example = extrude(exampleSketch, length = 10)

// Example using absolute control points.
startSketchOn(XY)
  |> startProfile(at = [300, 300])
  |> bezierCurve(control1Absolute = [600, 300], control2Absolute = [-300, -100], endAbsolute = [600, 600])
  |> close()
  |> extrude(length = 10)
