# CSE 5543 Lab 1: Interactive Bezier Curve Editor

Author: Zhe Yuan

## Create Environment

I use `uv` to create a virtual environment for this project. You can synchronize the environment by running:

```bash
uv sync
```

`uv` is not the only option, you can run this program in any Python environment with the required dependencies installed. The main dependencies are listed in `pyproject.toml`.

## Run the Code
To run the interactive Bezier curve editor, execute the following command in your terminal:

```bash
uv run ibezier.py <num_points> OR <filename>
```

- `<num_points>`: An integer specifying the number of control points to create a new Bezier curve.
- `<filename>`: A string specifying the path to a file containing control points to load an existing Bezier curve.

For example, to create a new Bezier curve with 5 control points, run:

```bash
uv run ibezier.py 5
```

To load control points from a file named `control_points.txt`, run:

```bash
uv run ibezier.py control_points.txt
```
