Draws a Bézier curve.
Bézier curves can form shapes and curves that slope gently. They're defined by two anchor points and two control points. Bézier curves provide more control than the spline curves created with the curve() function.
The first two parameters, x1 and y1, set the first anchor point. The first anchor point is where the curve starts.
The next four parameters, x2, y2, x3, and y3, set the two control points. The control points "pull" the curve towards them.
The seventh and eighth parameters, x4 and y4, set the last anchor point. The last anchor point is where the curve ends.
Bézier curves can also be drawn in 3D using WebGL mode. The 3D version of bezier() has twelve arguments because each point has x-, y-, and z-coordinates.
