Description Evaluates the curve at point t for points a, b, c, d. The parameter t may range from 0 (the start of the curve) and 1 (the end of the curve). a and d are points on the curve, and b and c are the control points. This can be used once with the x coordinates and a second time with the y coordinates to get the location of a curve at t.
Syntax
curvePoint(a, b, c, d, t)
Parameters
a float: coordinate of first point on the curve
b float: coordinate of second point on the curve
c float: coordinate of third point on the curve
d float: coordinate of fourth point on the curve
t float: value between 0 and 1
Returnsfloat
