Yes, its a particular type of math created just for doing CAD/CAM. As soon
as I finish it up I am going to be posting a special utility for creating
programatic tweens over bezier curves. :-) Just think how many motion paths
can be defined with just 4 points! :-)

Thanks for that example, Branden!

Are the curves generated by plotting a graph of a function? I ask
because the curve "line" seems to reveal itself to actually be a
(finite) set of points. It does this when taken to more extreme
"stretches".

TIA,

Ken Sherwood
