A curve is defined by a series of points. You can create curves consisting of four points using control vertices and complex curves consisting of more points using fit points.

Warning:
A curve is a purely graphic object. To make an electrical connection between the nodes of the schematic, use the object Wire. To make an electrical connection between the PCB pads, use the object Track.

Commands for the curve object

Command	Description
Graphics » Curve » Bezier	Draw a Bezier curve. The curve is defined by extremes and two control points that "pull" the line into a curved shape.
Graphics » Curve » Spline	It draws an interpolating curve consisting of at least three points. An interpolating curve passes through all specified points.
Graphics » Curve » Freehand	Draws a curve that approximates the path drawn with the mouse.
