Question about splines. (flag=noob)

Post by suzuki »

I gather we're drawing with "cardinal splines" in Moho...? I'm no master of vector drawing (or maths), so, to keep things simple, I was wondering if Moho had a method for specifying "Curvature" numerically?

(That's my question--the rest of this post is "human interest"....)

Most of my favorable vector drawing experiences come from making TrueType fonts with their quadratic spline contours. Keeping track of all the weight values in a Bezier curve makes me nervous. (I would imagine this could also impact animations, no?) It looks like Moho sensibly hides the "handles", and keeps them symmetrical and, uh, "tangential"? "cardinal"?

Personally, I like having just a couple "curvature" values: On curve and off (or vertex and edge). I apparently lack the mental capacity for higher-order curves. :P

Sounds like I'd like what this fellow wants:
