mark hill Senior Member Offline Posts: 316	bezier postscript - continous lines Aug 21st, 2005, 10:45am   I'm trying to draw continuous lines to export to illustrator via postscript. How do I vectorize mouse movement to generate bezier-type paths and eliminate line segments. I'm not upto speed on curves, but guess curveto(); is the function I need, but what are the required parameters. Many thanks.

In flowerpower i use moveto oldx oldy, lineto x y.. but it wouldn't allways be smooth if it's controlled by the mouse position, and mouse speed.. -seltar

I'm hoping someone knows a better way of recording mouse information for postscript, or just how to vectorize curving lines in processing.
