# ImageDrawCubicCurve

Draws a cubic Bézier curve on an image. This BIF allows you to specify the start point, two control points, and the end point for the curve in BoxLang.

## Syntax

```
ImageDrawCubicCurve(name, x1, y1, ctrlx1, ctrly1, ctrlx2, ctrly2, x2, y2)
```

## Arguments

| Name   | Type    | Required | Description                                                             |
| ------ | ------- | -------- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| name   | any     | Yes      | The image or the name of a variable referencing an image to operate on. |
| x1     | numeric | Yes      | The x coordinate of the start point of the curve.                       |
| y1     | numeric | Yes      | The y coordinate of the start point of the curve.                       |
| ctrlx1 | numeric | Yes      | The x coordinate of the first control point.                            |
| ctrly1 | numeric | Yes      | The y coordinate of the first control point.                            |
| ctrlx2 | numeric | Yes      | The x coordinate of the second control point.                           |
| ctrly2 | numeric | Yes      | The y coordinate of the second control point.                           |
| x2     | numeric | Yes      | The x coordinate of the end point of the curve.                         |
| y2     | numeric | Yes      | The y coordinate of the end point of the curve.                         |

## Returns

* **BoxImage**: The modified BoxImage instance with the cubic curve drawn.

## Description

`ImageDrawCubicCurve` draws a cubic Bézier curve on the specified image, using the provided start point, two control points, and end point. The image can be passed directly or referenced by variable name.

## Example

```boxlang
// Draw a cubic Bézier curve
img = ImageDrawCubicCurve(myImage, 10, 20, 30, 40, 50, 60, 70, 80);
```

## See Also

* ImageDrawQuadCurve
* ImageDrawLine

## Notes

* All arguments are required.
* The image can be passed as a BoxImage object or as a variable name referencing an image.
* The curve is defined by the start point (x1, y1), control points (ctrlx1, ctrly1) and (ctrlx2, ctrly2), and end point (x2, y2).

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

```
GET https://boxlang.ortusbooks.com/boxlang-framework/modularity/image-manipulation/reference/built-in-functions/imagedrawcubiccurve.md?ask=<question>&goal=<user_goal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
