Solution

  • Quadratic Bezier curve is defined by a start point, an end point, and a control point. The curve is influenced by the control point, but does not necessarily pass through it.

    However, you can manipulate the control point to make the curve appear to pass through a certain point. Here's how you can do it:

    
function computeQuadraticBezierPathData(p0, p1, p2) {
  const controlPoint = {
    x: (p1.x * 2) - ((p0.x + p2.x) / 2),
    y: (p1.y * 2) - ((p0.y + p2.y) / 2)
  };

  const pathData = `M${p0.x},${p0.y} Q${controlPoint.x},${controlPoint.y} ${p2.x},${p2.y}`;
  return pathData;
}
