fontTools.misc.bezierTools.calcQuadraticBounds(pt1, pt2, pt3)[source]

Return the bounding rectangle for a qudratic bezier segment. pt1 and pt3 are the “anchor” points, pt2 is the “handle”.

(0, 0, 100, 50.0)
>>> calcQuadraticBounds((0, 0), (100, 0), (100, 100))

fontTools.misc.bezierTools.calcCubicBounds(pt1, pt2, pt3, pt4)[source]

Return the bounding rectangle for a cubic bezier segment. pt1 and pt4 are the “anchor” points, pt2 and pt3 are the “handles”.

fontTools.misc.bezierTools.solveQuadratic(a, b, c, sqrt=<built-in function sqrt>)[source]
Solve a quadratic equation where a, b and c are real.
a*x*x + b*x + c = 0

This function returns a list of roots. Note that the returned list is neither guaranteed to be sorted nor to contain unique values!
