Composite Bézier curve

Imagine you have a bunch of dots on a piece of paper and you want to connect them with a curved line. One way to do that is to use something called a "bézier curve."

A bézier curve is a line that starts at one dot and ends at another, but the line curves instead of going straight. It's called a "curve" because it's not a straight line.

Okay, now imagine you have a bunch of dots on your paper and you want to connect ALL of them with a curved line. That's where a "composite bézier curve" comes in.

A composite bézier curve is just lots of bézier curves put together in a row. Each bézier curve connects two dots, but together they make a curve that connects ALL the dots on your paper.

So, to summarize: a bézier curve is one curved line between two dots. A composite bézier curve is lots of bézier curves put together to make one curve that connects lots of dots.
