title: "_curve()"

Path path._curve(Point cp2, Point to)

Draws a cubic Bezier curve from the current position via two control points to a given endpoint. However, the start control point is identical to the start point.

This method exists to save you some typing

Note that the two following calls yield the same result:

.curve(point1, point1, point2)
._curve(point1, point2)

So the only purpose of this method is to save your some typing.

  let { Point, points, Path, paths } = part.shorthand();

  points.from = new Point(5, 20);
  points.cp2 = new Point(60, 30);
  points.to = new Point(90, 20);

  paths.line = new Path()
    .move(points.from)
    ._curve(points.cp2, points.to)
    .attr("data-text", "Path._curve()")
    .attr("data-text-class", "text-sm center fill-note");
