Connection Questions

Sure!

In general, Connections are independent from curves math, i.e. they aren't used to determine curvation. If you use Catmull or TCB interpolation, a segment's curvation is not only defined by the two CPs forming the segment, but from 4 CPs instead. Now, defining a FollowUp direction gives the curve segment the information which CPs to use in it's formula.

Example: Say you have a big "T" formed by two splines. You have a single connection where the | meets the top line (- of the T). If you set no FollowUp, you'll get a hard edge, if you set one you'll get the | either bend to the left or the right, depending on direction.

Does that make sense?
