The Bezier Curve tool will create a bezier curve. Think of the Bezier Curve tool as a more sophisticated Curve tool, with more control over curvature, especially at endpoints.
For NEW performers, set the Red and Yellow Anchors on the Count Track to the count at which you wish the curve to be drawn. To transition EXISTING performers into a curve, move the Red Anchor to the count where the selected performers should “hit” the curve shape. Move the Yellow Anchor to the beginning count of the transition into the new curve. This is usually the previous set in the drill. Select the existing performers that will be moving into the curve using a Selection Tool. See the Drawing Tools overview for more explanation between new performers and transitioning existing performers.
Clicking on the Bezier Curve tool will display the Bezier Curve Control Panel.
Drawing a Bezier Curve
The curve is drawn by clicking two or more points on the field display. The first click on the field is the first endpoint of the curve. The second click on the field develops the curve initially as a line. The ends of the line have editing handles.
Dragging the red square in the editing handle will move the endpoints.
Dragging the red circle extending from the square handle will shape the curve.
Many of the options in the Bezier Curve Tool Control Panel are exactly the same as options in the Line tool. Refer to the Line tool for details on the Clone, Symbol, Color, Editing Handles, and Reposition Handles. See Matching Lines for an explanation of the Matching Lines functions.
