interpolated curve....

Programming Questions

Dear all interested readers,

I am currnetly working with an example of interpolating curves for making typedesigns.

The problem is that the example doesn't use beziercurve shape, but little lines that make the curve. How can I use what I have now to make a bezier path?

Hope someone can explain me what to do. Thanks in advance.

Kind regards,

At the beginning of your routine showPoints() (which is already displaying the info you need), add this line:

System.out.printf("bezier(%d,%d,%d,%d,%d,%d,%d,%d);\n",

(int) points[0].getX(),(int) points[0].getY(),

(int) points[1].getX(),(int) points[1].getY(),

(int) points[2].getX(),(int) points[2].getY(),

(int) points[3].getX(),(int) points[3].getY());

This sends to the console the bezier command that will draw that curve, basically transcribing the same information that is being shown on the screen.

You'll see this in the console:

bezier(60,100,100,100,250,100,250,200);

Also, you'll see a BUNCH of those in the console, because you currently have loop() turned on. :)

Thank your for you response. I do, however, allready understand how to get the first bezier. That's not the hard part. The hard part is getting the locations of the interpolated bezier (green line). With that, I can make a complete shape of it.

Thanks in advance.
