<h2>Detailed Description</h2>
<p>The Q3CanvasSpline class provides multi-bezier splines on a <a href="q3canvas.html">Q3Canvas</a>.</p>
<p>A Q3CanvasSpline is a sequence of 4-point bezier curves joined together to make a curved shape.</p>
<p>You set the control points of the spline with <a href="q3canvasspline.html#setControlPoints">setControlPoints</a>().</p>
<p>If the bezier is <a href="q3canvasspline.html#closed">closed</a>(), then the first control point will be re-used as the last control point. Therefore, a closed bezier must have a multiple of 3 control points and an open bezier must have one extra point.</p>
<p>The beziers are not necessarily joined "smoothly". To ensure this, set control points appropriately (general reference texts about beziers will explain this in detail).</p>
<p>Like any other canvas item splines can be moved with <a href="q3canvasitem.html#move">Q3CanvasItem::move</a>() and <a href="q3canvasitem.html#moveBy">Q3CanvasItem::moveBy</a>(), or by setting coordinates with <a href="q3canvasitem.html#setX">Q3CanvasItem::setX</a>(), <a href="q3canvasitem.html#setY">Q3CanvasItem::setY</a>() and <a href="q3canvasitem.html#setZ">Q3CanvasItem::setZ</a>().</p>
