/**
A **CubicBezierCurve** is a {{#crossLink "Curve"}}{{/crossLink}} along which a 3D position can be animated.
## Overview
<ul>
<li>As shown in the diagram below, a CubicBezierCurve is defined by four control points.</li>
<li>You can sample a {{#crossLink "CubicBezierCurve/point:property"}}{{/crossLink}} and a {{#crossLink "CubicBezierCurve/tangent:property"}}{{/crossLink}}
vector on a CubicBezierCurve for any given value of {{#crossLink "CubicBezierCurve/t:property"}}{{/crossLink}} in the range [0..1].</li>
<li>When you set {{#crossLink "CubicBezierCurve/t:property"}}{{/crossLink}} on a CubicBezierCurve, its
{{#crossLink "CubicBezierCurve/point:property"}}{{/crossLink}} and {{#crossLink "CubicBezierCurve/tangent:property"}}{{/crossLink}} properties
will update accordingly.</li>
<li>To build a complex path, you can combine an unlimited combination of CubicBezierCurves,
{{#crossLink "QuadraticBezierCurve"}}QuadraticBezierCurves{{/crossLink}} and {{#crossLink "SplineCurve"}}SplineCurves{{/crossLink}}
into a {{#crossLink "Path"}}{{/crossLink}}.</li>
</ul>

## Usage
#### Animation along a CubicBezierCurve
Let's create a CubicBezierCurve, subscribe to updates on its {{#crossLink "CubicBezierCurve/point:property"}}{{/crossLink}},
{{#crossLink "Curve/tangent:property"}}{{/crossLink}} and {{#crossLink "Curve/t:property"}}{{/crossLink}} properties,
then vary its {{#crossLink "CubicBezierCurve/t:property"}}{{/crossLink}}
property over time:
````javascript
var curve = new xeogl.CubicBezierCurve({
v0: [-10, 0, 0],
v1: [-5, 15, 0],
v2: [20, 15, 0],
v3: [10, 0, 0]
});
curve.on("point", function(point) {
this.log("curve.point=" + JSON.stringify(point));
});
curve.on("tangent", function(tangent) {
this.log("curve.tangent=" + JSON.stringify(tangent));
});
curve.on("t", function(t) {
this.log("curve.t=" + t);
});
curve.scene.on("tick", function(e) {
curve.t = (e.time - e.startTime) * 0.01;
});
````
#### Randomly sampling points
Use CubicBezierCurve's {{#crossLink "CubicBezierCurve/getPoint:method"}}{{/crossLink}} and
{{#crossLink "Curve/getTangent:method"}}{{/crossLink}} methods to sample the point and vector
at a given **t**:
````javascript
curve.scene.on("tick", function(e) {
var t = (e.time - e.startTime) * 0.01;
var point = curve.getPoint(t);
var tangent = curve.getTangent(t);
this.log("t=" + t + ", point=" + JSON.stringify(point) + ", tangent=" + JSON.stringify(tangent));
});
````
#### Sampling multiple points
Use CubicBezierCurve's {{#crossLink "Curve/getPoints:method"}}{{/crossLink}} method to sample a list of equidistant points
along it. In the snippet below, we'll build a {{#crossLink "Geometry"}}{{/crossLink}} that renders a line along the
curve. Note that we need to flatten the points array for consumption by the {{#crossLink "Geometry"}}{{/crossLink}}.
````javascript
var geometry = new xeogl.Geometry({
positions: xeogl.math.flatten(curve.getPoints(50))
});
