Reference Doc for Curve()
Aug 9th, 2008, 8:20pm
 
Hi, I'd like to suggest that the reference doc for CURVE() be clarified. Currently the documentation refers to the first and last parameter pair as being anchor points. My understanding is that the anchor points are the actual endpoints of the drawn curve. The two control points, the 2nd and 3rd pair of parameters, are referred to as simply points with the text implying that these are control points. However when the curve() is actually executed (version 0135 beta), the anchor points appear to be the control points and the points appear to be the anchor points as these points are where the drawn curve actually begins and ends.

Thank you for reporting this. That's been wrong for years, yikes...

I think the error was left over from copying and pasting the bezier() reference to start the curve() reference. It's fixed now.
