Description¶
Calculates the tangent of a point on a Bezier curve. There is a good definition of tangent on Wikipedia.
Underlying Processing method: bezierTangent
Syntax¶
bezier_tangent(a: float, b: float, c: float, d: float, t: float, /) -> float
Parameters¶
a: float - coordinate of first point on the curve
b: float - coordinate of first control point
c: float - coordinate of second control point
d: float - coordinate of second point on the curve
t: float - value between 0 and 1
