SWFShape->drawCurve() — Draws a curve (relative)

### Description

SWFShape
int drawCurve ( int `$controldx` , int `$controldy` , int `$anchordx` , int `$anchordy` [, int `$targetdx` ], int `$targetdy` )
Warning

This function is EXPERIMENTAL. The behaviour of this function, the name of this function, and anything else documented about this function may change without notice in a future release of PHP. Use this function at your own risk.

swfshape->drawcurve() draws a quadratic curve (using the current line style,set by swfshape->setline()) from the current pen position to the relative position (`anchorx` ,`anchory` ) using relative control point (`controlx` ,`controly` ). That is, head towards the control point, then smoothly turn to the anchor point.

With 6 parameters, it draws a cubic bezier to point (x+`targetdx` , x+`targetdy` ) with control points (x+`controldx` , y+`controldy` ) and (x+`anchordx` , y+`anchordy` ).
