Hi everyone. I'm taking on my first real project in DBC: a simple paint program a la ms paint. I would like to be able to create curved lines from straight ones by deforming them with the mouse.
However I'm having some problems with the math involved. Basically, I want the curved line to start and finish at the same coordinates as the straight line but all the points in between depend on the coordinates of the mouse at any given time. I've been trying to work this out for a couple of days now, so any ideas would be appreciated.

Depends on what type of curved line you want. If you just want the line to pull out and arc evenly, then that's pretty simple. If you want to be able to pull the edge of the curve closer to one side than the other, then you should look into catmull rom splines or beziers.

Well, I want the curve to arc out according to the mouse's position. Say the straight line is AB. If the mouse pointer is closer to A than B then the maximum point should be closer to A than B. Just think of ms paint's curve function without the second click that allows you to curve the line again.
