Spline Handles

A spline handle includes multiple handle types to control the weight and direction (vector) of the spline at that point.

You can control weight and direction:

Individually or together
Asymmetrically: one side only
Symmetrically: both sides together

Handle colors indicate the status of the operation.

			Inactive	is not selected.
			Selected	was selected, but no motion has occurred.
