In vector graphics all curve bezier are provided as sequence of bezier-splines
(cairo, inkscape, blender).
One spline:
move_to (x, y) - control point 0
curve_to (x0, y0, x1, y1, x2, y2)
Where
x0, y0 - right handle control point 0
x1, y1 - left handle control point 1
x2, y2 - control point 1
That the user could transfer data from the editor to your macro, it is necessary
to follow the standard.
If the end of a spline 0 is the beginning of a spline 1
move_to (x, y)
curve_to (x0, y0, x1, y1, x2, y2)
curve_to (x3, y3, x4, y4, x5, y5)
curve_to (x6, y6, x7, y7, x8, y8)
curve_to (x9, y9, x10, y10, x11, y11)
If splines are broken off,
move_to (x, y)
curve_to (x0, y0, x1, y1, x2, y2)
move_to (x3, y3)
curve_to (x4, y4, x5, y5, x6, y6)
