What is another name for the secondary control points connected to vertices on a spline?

• A. Handles
• B. Lock Tangents
• C. Incoming tangent
• D. Outgoing tangent

Answer: (A)

In splines that use Bezier-style corners, the bend at each vertex is shaped by handles—the secondary control points that extend from the vertex along the tangents. These handles are the points you drag to sculpt the curve’s curvature and direction as it approaches and leaves the vertex. The actual directions of the curve coming into and going out of the vertex are the incoming and outgoing tangents, but the handles are the movable controls that define those tangents and the resulting smoothness or sharpness of the bend.
