Curve interpolation algorithm

[morevnaproject]

Hi everyone!
I am writing a python script to convert from Moho format to other vector software.
The script is already capable to extract points and convert simple shapes.
But I cannot figure out how Moho interpolates curve between points. Is there any documentation for this algorithm available?
Thanks in advance!

If memory serves, I believe it's cubic beziers, defined by 4 points.

Hayasidist knows all about that. Hopefully he chimes in.

yeah cubic bezier. Assuming you know what that is:

the actual Moho points are P0 and P3. You then need to derive P1 and P2 from the way Moho stores the "curvature" -- see https://mohoscripting.com/snippets/5

Also note: If you are reading the Moho JSON data - in some cases you may not get the true position of the points - if they are influenced by Bones, Actions, Smart Actions, Physics, Meshes or Curvers.
