Remarks

A cubic Bezier curve is defined by a start point, end point, and two control points. The first control point determines the curvature of the first half of the segment, and the second control point determines the curvature of the second half of the segment.

This method uses the end point of the previous segment as its starting point. If this is the first segment in a figure, it uses the point specified by the BeginFigure method as its start point.

A StreamGeometry cannot be serialized if it contains a Transform or any non-stroked or unfilled segments.
