Name

### bezierVertex()

Examples

    noFill();
    beginShape();
    vertex(30, 20);
    bezierVertex(80, 0, 80, 75, 30, 75);
    endShape();

    beginShape();
    vertex(30, 20);
    bezierVertex(80, 0, 80, 75, 30, 75);
    bezierVertex(50, 80, 60, 25, 30, 20);
    endShape();

Description

Specifies vertex coordinates for Bezier curves. Each call to bezierVertex() defines the position of two control points and one anchor point of a Bezier curve, adding a new segment to a line or shape. The first time bezierVertex() is used within a beginShape() call, it must be prefaced with a call to vertex() to set the first anchor point. This function must be used between beginShape() and endShape() and only when there is no MODE parameter specified to beginShape(). Using the 3D version of requires rendering with P3D or OPENGL (see the Environment reference for more information).

Syntax

    bezierVertex(cx1, cy1, cx2, cy2, x, y)
    bezierVertex(cx1, cy1, cz1, cx2, cy2, cz2, x, y, z)

Parameters

cx1 | The x-coordinate of 1st control point, either a float or int
cy1 | The y-coordinate of 1st control point, either a float or int
cz1 | The z-coordinate of 1st control point, either a float or int
cx2 | The x-coordinate of 2nd control point, either a float or int
cy2 | The y-coordinate of 2nd control point, either a float or int
cz2 | The z-coordinate of 2nd control point, either a float or int
x | The x-coordinate of anchor point, either a float or int
y | The y-coordinate of anchor point, either a float or int
z | The z-coordinate of anchor point, either a float or int
