In the previous illustrations all tangents lie horizontally. Now let’s
rotate the tangent of the upper point through 180° so that the left
tangent end point lies on the right, the right on the left.
You can see the result in this illustration.
You can change the lengths of the tangents separately from each
other. To do this, Shift-drag a tangent end point.
You may set different tangent directions on the right and on the
left of the vertex. With this approach you can make the otherwise
smooth path of a curve produce sharp corners and peaks, if required.
To do this, Shift-drag a tangent end point.
