_GDIPlus_GraphicsDrawCurve2

Draws a cardinal spline

#include <GDIPlus.au3>
_GDIPlus_GraphicsDrawCurve2 ( $hGraphics, $aPoints, $nTension [, $hPen = 0] )

Parameters

$hGraphics Pointer to a Graphics object
$aPoints Array of points that specify the coordinates that the cardinal spline passes through:
    [0][0] - Number of points
    [1][0] - Point 1 X position
    [1][1] - Point 1 Y position
    [2][0] - Point 2 X position
    [2][1] - Point 2 Y position
    [n][0] - Point n X position
    [n][1] - Point n Y position
$nTension Number that specifies how tightly the curve bends through the coordinates of the closed cardinal spline
$hPen [optional] Handle to a pen object that is used to draw the splines. If 0, a solid black pen with a width of

Return Value

Success: True.
Failure: False and sets the @error flag to non-zero, @extended may contain GPSTATUS error code ($GPIP_ERR* see GPIPlusConstants.au3).
