Pay attention to the 'Flow' of the Control Points

A smooth and regular 'flow' of CPs will ensure that your curves have:

• Smoothness – no unwanted 'kinks'.
• Good Acceleration – a consistent change of curvature giving good highlights.
• No unwanted inflections – where curvature switches from concave to convex.
