Hi, I have spent the last few hours trying to find help on how to draw a curved line. I know I am meant to using the drawing API, but I want the line to look like it is drawing on (not just being there…) I want it to happen automatically or when a function is called, not to follow the mouse or drag.

Can anyone please help. I really need to figure out how to do this…
