Red and blue curve points

1 reply Last reply

  1. Hello everybody!

    If I add, say, a Textpath node to Nodebox 3 and turn “Point Numbers” on in the Viewer pane, it shows blue and red dots along the text path. Could you please explain me the meaning and difference between the 2 colors?
    Thanks!

    Good question!

    NodeBox works with bézier curves. These are mathematical representations of a shape.

    • The blue dots are on-curve points. These are points the bézier curve runs through. In Illustrator, this would be your regular points.

    • The red dots are off-curve points. In Illustrator, these would be the bézier handles.
