Info

(second-degree) curve has one turning point and a cubic (third-degree) curve can have either zero or two turning points. This info will become more relevant when you get to Chapter 7 and see how curves are actually generated in Processing. Here are two little Processing sketches that generate the quadratic and cubic curves shown in Figures 4-6 and 4-7, respectively: /* Simple Quadratic Curve equation: f(x) = x*x - 20x + 200 Ira Greenberg, October 10, 2005 */ float x, y; // adjusts y to fit in sketch window coordinate space float curveFittingFactor = .03; void setup(){ size(400, 400); background(255); fill(0); for (int i=-102; i
