bezierCurveFunction 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.

bezierCurve(
  @sketch: Sketch,
  control1?: Point2d,
  control2?: Point2d,
  end?: Point2d,
  control1Absolute?: Point2d,
  control2Absolute?: Point2d,
  endAbsolute?: Point2d,
  tag?: TagDeclarator,
): Sketch

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`	`TagDeclarator`	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.
