# Bezier handles animated icon

Dragging a tangent handle reshapes the curve. Light: the right handle is grabbed (its knob swells), dragged down so the handle pivots on the anchor, and the curve bends through the anchor to follow it a beat later; on release it snaps back past straight and settles. Strong: the handle is nudged up first, then dragged farther so the curve bends deeper, and the release springs back through two decaying swings. The anchor never moves.
