Description

Modifies the quality of forms created with curve() and curve_vertex(). The parameter tightness determines how the curve fits to the vertex points. The value 0.0 is the default value for tightness (this value defines the curves to be Catmull-Rom splines) and the value 1.0 connects all the points with straight lines. Values within the range -5.0 and 5.0 will deform the curves but will leave them recognizable and as values increase in magnitude, they will continue to deform.

Underlying Processing method: curveTightness

Syntax

curve_tightness(tightness: float, /) -> None

Parameters

  • tightness: float - amount of deformation from the original vertices
