# de Casteljau's algorithm
|
||||
|
||||
If we want to draw Bézier curves we can run through all values of `t` from 0 to 1 and then compute the weighted basis function, getting the `x/y` values we need to plot, but the more complex the curve gets, the more expensive this becomes. Instead, we can use "de Casteljau's algorithm" to draw curves, which is a geometric approach to drawing curves, and really easy to implement. So easy, in fact, you can do it by hand with a pencil and ruler.
