135 * Calculate the tangent vector by taking the normal of this bisector.
136 * The in control point is the length of the preceding segment back along this bisector multiplied by the curvature.
137 * The out control point is the length of the succeeding segment forward along this bisector multiplied by the curvature.
140 * @param[in] curvature The curvature of the spline. 0 gives straight lines between the knots,
141 * negative values means the spline contains loops, positive values up to
142 * 0.5 result in a smooth curve, positive values between 0.5 and 1 result
143 * in looped curves where the loops are not distinct (i.e. the curve appears
144 * to be non-continuous), positive values higher than 1 result in looped curves.
