svg-arc-to-cubic-bezier's Introduction

SVG arc to cubic bezier

A function that takes an SVG arc curve as input, and maps it to one or more cubic bezier curves.

I extracted the a2c function from SVG path, as I wanted to use it on its own.

All credit, thanks and respect goes to:

It blew my mind. Thank you!

Installation

npm install svg-arc-to-cubic-bezier

Usage

import arcToBezier from 'svg-arc-to-cubic-bezier';

const previousPoint = { x: 100, y: 100 }

const currentPoint = {
  x: 700,
  y: 100,
  curve: {
    type: 'arc',
    rx: 300,
    ry: 200,
    largeArcFlag: 30,
    sweepFlag: 0,
    xAxisRotation: 0,
  },
};

const curves = arcToBezier({
  px: previousPoint.x,
  py: previousPoint.y,
  cx: currentPoint.x,
  cy: currentPoint.y,
  rx: currentPoint.curve.rx,
  ry: currentPoint.curve.ry,
  xAxisRotation: currentPoint.curve.xAxisRotation,
  largeArcFlag: currentPoint.curve.largeArcFlag,
  sweepFlag: currentPoint.curve.sweepFlag,
});

curves.forEach( c => console.log( c ));
