Description

Specifies vertex coordinates for Bezier curves. Each call to bezier_vertex() 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 bezier_vertex() is used within a begin_shape() call, it must be prefaced with a call to vertex() to set the first anchor point. This function must be used between begin_shape() and end_shape() and only when there is no MODE parameter specified to begin_shape(). Using the 3D version requires rendering with P3D.

Underlying Processing method: bezierVertex

Syntax

bezier_vertex(x2: float, y2: float, x3: float, y3: float, x4: float, y4: float, /) -> None
bezier_vertex(x2: float, y2: float, z2: float, x3: float, y3: float, z3: float, x4: float, y4: float, z4: float, /) -> None

Parameters

  • x2: float - the x-coordinate of the 1st control point

  • x3: float - the x-coordinate of the 2nd control point

  • x4: float - the x-coordinate of the anchor point

  • y2: float - the y-coordinate of the 1st control point

  • y3: float - the y-coordinate of the 2nd control point

  • y4: float - the y-coordinate of the anchor point

  • z2: float - the z-coordinate of the 1st control point

  • z3: float - the z-coordinate of the 2nd control point

  • z4: float - the z-coordinate of the anchor point
