Where does BezierSegment live in the IronWord API?

BezierSegment is a class in the IronWord.Models namespace, shipped in IronWord.dll. It derives from Object and implements IBezierSegment and IPathSegment, representing one Bezier curve in a custom shape's path.

What is the difference between BezierSegment and LineSegment in IronWord?

BezierSegment describes a curved piece of a shape outline, while LineSegment describes a straight one. Both implement IPathSegment and are added in order to a shape's path, so a single outline can mix curved and straight segments.

Class BezierSegment

Path for a Bezier segment.

Syntax

public class BezierSegment : Object

BezierSegment is one curved piece of a custom shape's outline in a Word document. It records a single Bezier curve in a path, so a developer drawing a freeform shape builds its border from a sequence of these segments. It is the curved counterpart to LineSegment, the straight-edge segment; choose this one wherever the outline bends rather than runs straight.

Construct it with a control point and two flags: new BezierSegment(PointF coordinate, bool isClose = false, bool separateFromPrevious = true). The Coordinate property holds the PointF that shapes the curve. IsClose marks whether the segment closes the path back to the start, and SeparateFromPrevious controls whether the segment begins a new sub-path rather than continuing from the previous point. Segments are added in order to the shape's path collection, so the sequence is what defines the final outline; set IsClose on the last segment when the shape should be a closed loop.

The document element tutorial walks the object model these shape paths belong to, and the add image how-to covers placing visual content in a document.
