curve_vertex()

Specifies vertex coordinates for curves.

Examples

def setup():
    py5.no_fill()
    py5.begin_shape()
    py5.curve_vertex(84, 91)
    py5.curve_vertex(84, 91)
    py5.curve_vertex(68, 19)
    py5.curve_vertex(21, 17)
    py5.curve_vertex(32, 100)
    py5.curve_vertex(32, 100)
    py5.end_shape()

Description

Specifies vertex coordinates for curves. This method may only be used between begin_shape() and end_shape() and only when there is no MODE parameter specified to begin_shape(). The first and last points in a series of curve_vertex() lines will be used to guide the beginning and end of the curve. A minimum of four points is required to draw a tiny curve between the second and third points. Adding a fifth point with curve_vertex() will draw the curve between the second, third, and fourth points. The curve_vertex() method is an implementation of Catmull-Rom splines. Using the 3D version requires rendering with P3D.

Underlying Processing method: curveVertex
