---|---|---|
CheckAccess | Determines whether the calling thread has access to this object. (Inherited from DependencyObject.) | |
ClearValue | Clears the local value of a dependency property. (Inherited from DependencyObject.) | |
Equals(Object) | Determines whether the specified Object is equal to the current Object. (Inherited from Object.) | |

Remarks
Use a PathFigure object to store BezierSegment objects and other segments.
A cubic Bezier curve is defined by four points: a start point, an end point (Point3), and two control points (Point1 and Point2). The BezierSegment class does not contain a property for the starting point of the curve; it only defines the end point. The beginning point of the curve is the current point of the PathFigure to which the BezierSegment is added.
The two control points of a cubic Bezier curve behave like magnets, attracting portions of what would otherwise be a straight line toward themselves and producing a curve. The first control point, Point1, affects the beginning portion of the curve; the second control point, Point2, affects the ending portion of the curve. Note that the curve doesn't necessarily pass through either of the control points; each control point moves its portion of the line toward itself, but not through itself.
To specify a Bezier type segment with more control points, see PolyBezierSegment.
Examples
The following example uses a BezierSegment as one of the PathSegment items in a PathGeometry.

<PathFigure StartPoint="10,50">
<PathFigure.Segments>
<BezierSegment Point1="100,0"
Point2="200,200"
Point3="300,100"/>
<LineSegment Point="400,100" />
<ArcSegment Size="50,50" RotationAngle="45"
