Delete Handle

TouchDraw supports the insertion and deletion of handles or segments from an existing path. A different behavior is received depending on the type of handle chosen for deletion:

• Cubic Curve Control Point Handle - Segment is converted to a quadratic curve segment upon deletion.
• Quadratic Curve Control Point Handle - Segment is converted to a line segment upon deletion.
• Segment End Point - The entire segment is removed including the control points (cubic or quadratic curves).
