# `GSSignedCurvatureForT`

*Function*

Use this function as compared to `curvatureSquaredForT` if you compute the square root of the result anyway or if you need to know the sign of the curvature.

## Declaration

```swift
func GSSignedCurvatureForT(_ P1: NSPoint, _ P2: NSPoint, _ P3: NSPoint, _ P4: NSPoint, _ t: CGFloat) -> CGFloat
```

```objc
CGFloat GSSignedCurvatureForT(NSPoint P1, NSPoint P2, NSPoint P3, NSPoint P4, CGFloat t);
```

```python
GSSignedCurvatureForT(P1: NSPoint, P2: NSPoint, P3: NSPoint, P4: NSPoint, t: float) -> float
```
