HTML canvas quadraticCurveTo() method

quadraticCurveTo() is a Canvas 2D API adds a method for quadratic bezier curve paths. It requires2Points. The first point is the control point, the second point is the endpoint. The starting point is the latest point on the current path; you can change it by using the moveTo() method before creating the quadratic bezier curve.

Definition and Usage

quadraticCurveTo() method to add a point to the current path by using the specified control points that represent the quadratic Bezier curve.

A quadratic Bezier curve requires two points. The first point is the control point used in the quadratic Bezier calculation, and the second point is the endpoint of the curve. The starting point of the curve is the last point in the current path. If the path does not exist, please use beginPath() and moveTo() Method to define the starting point.

Starting Point:

moveTo(20,20)

Control Point:

quadraticCurveTo(20,100,200,20)

Endpoint:

quadraticCurveTo(20,100,200,20)

Tip:See bezierCurveTo() Method. It has two control points instead of one.

JavaScript Syntax:	context.quadraticCurveTo(cpx,cpy,x,y);

Parameter Value

Parameter	Description
cpx	The x-coordinate of the Bezier control point.
cpy	The y-coordinate of the Bezier control point.
x	The x-coordinate of the endpoint.
y	The y-coordinate of the endpoint.
