This plugin creates a connection/bridge between two polygons where the path of the connection is controlled by a single or multi-segment Bezier curve. If the shapes or sizes of the two polygons are not the same, the connection is linearly interpolated between them.

Additional features available in version 1.1+ (Win32 and Win64 only):

  • Support for multiple points on the curve and variable number of subdivisions for each segment
  • Support for both Bezier and spline curves

Additional features available in version 1.2+ (Win32 and Win64 only):

  • Support for different number of points in each of the polygons
