title
Path._curve()

The Path._curve() method draws a cubic Bézier curve from the current position via two control points to a given endpoint. However, the start control point is identical to the current position, so you do not need to provide it.

Signature

Path path._curve(Point cp2, Point to)

This method is chainable as it returns the Path object

Example

```js ({ Point, points, Path, paths, part }) => {

points.from = new Point(5, 20) points.cp2 = new Point(60, 50) points.to = new Point(90, 20)

paths.line = new Path() .move(points.from) ._curve(points.cp2, points.to) .setText("Path._curve()", "text-sm center fill-note") .attr("data-text-dy", -1)

return part }

</Example>


## Notes

The main purpose of this method is to save your some typing,
as the two following calls yield the same result:

```js
path.curve(point1, point1, point2)
path._curve(point1, point2)
