### void QPainter::drawCubicBezier ( const QPolygon & a, int index = 0 )

Draws a cubic Bezier curve defined by the control points in a, starting at a[index] (index defaults to 0).

Draws the 1st line from a[index] to a[index + 1]. Draws the 2nd line from a[index + 2] to a[index + 3] etc.

See also drawPolyline(), drawPolygon(), and QPen.
