Are there any plugins or scripts available that will draw a perfect curve between three or more points of your choice?

What mean you by "perfect"?

maybe a segment of a circle ?...or a whole circle
Only 1 circle may touch the same 3 points

The arc doesn't need to be circular, for example, the three points may produce a comma when joined up. I want to use it to the same effect as French Curves. Ultimately, I'm trying to produce Celtic knotwork.

try the paths tool. It's pretty good for making curves.

Thank you Molly, that's a great find!

tstandiford - The problem with the paths tool is where two sections of a path meet, getting them to look like part of a smooth curve is extremely difficult. You need to line them up perfectly.

yes

and btw if only 1 circle touch 3 points a infinite number of more generic " curves" does the same, and would be hard for a script define which is "perfect"

EDIT

Somewhere there is a "smooth path" script, i believe was from Ofnuts and maybe was also presented in the script board

Thanks PC. Sounds like that's what I'm looking for. Your query on fractal forums has been answered.

thank i am going to check now
