bezierPoint() reference page

Main issue:

c int or float: coordinate of first control point
should be:
c int or float: coordinate of second control point

Suggestion:

Quote:
Description  Evaluates the Bezier curve (defined by points a, b, c, d) at point t. The parameter t varies between 0 and 1, 0 being at first anchor point a (start point), 1 being at second anchor point d (end point), and b and c are the control points. This can be done once with the x coordinates and a second time with the y coordinates to get the location of a Bezier curve at t.

Might be too verbose or confusing, feel free to alter as you wish (or just drop the suggestion!).
Note: Evalutes -> Evaluates

I made the two corrections, but kept the description as it was. It's not extremely clear, but I don't think the knew one helped. I would like to have a better description, though. I think the example is the most important part of this reference entry.

Thank you for the corrections!

Good. I suggested a correction because I had to read twice to get the idea, but as you point out, the example helps (although when looking at a bunch of numbers, some identical, it it hard to correlate them).

On an unrelated page (perhaps I should do another topic), I searched the color (type) link on the reference page (Extended and Abridged) and couldn't find one. Perhaps it is on purpose: I found a link to color data type in the color() page, but it looks, hum, incomplete. Smiley
