Remarks

A Bezier curve is a simple cubic equation originally developed by Pierre Bzier in the 1970's for CAD/CAM operations. It became the under-pinnings for the Adobe PostScript drawing model.

The curve is drawn from the starting point (x1, y1) to the end point (x4, y4) by using the two control points (x2, y2) and (x3, y3).

The width of the line used to draw the curve depends on the setting of the DrawWidth property. The way the curve is drawn on the background depends on the setting of the DrawMode and DrawStyle properties.

This method draws into the control's DIB.
