How does Catmull Rom work with a Bézier curve? #196

Closed pspeter3 closed 2 years ago

pspeter3 commented 2 years ago

This isn’t an issue as much as a question. Every article I’ve read about Catmull Rom interpolates all the points in between but this implementation uses the Bézier curve function on Path2D / Canvas. How does that work? Thank you in advance for your time / explanation.

It's a good question :)
