choppingblock / Calculate Angle Along Quadratic Bezier

Created September 14, 2013 02:38

Have a quadratic bezier curve, need to figure out an angle along the way. This should work quite well, easy to convert to JavaScript.

	public static function quadraticBezierAngle(value:Number, anchor1:Point, anchor2:Point, control:Point):Number {
	var uc:Number = 1 - value;
	var dx:Number = (uc * control.x + value * anchor2.x) - (uc * anchor1.x + value * control.x);
	var dy:Number = (uc * control.y + value * anchor2.y) - (uc * anchor1.y + value * control.y);
	return Math.atan2(dy, dx);
	}
