FaceSketcher
The FaceSketcher allows you to sketch on a face that is not planar, for instance the sides of a cylinder.
The coordinates passed to the methods corresponds to normalised distances on this surface, between 0 and 1 in both direction.
Note that if you are drawing on a closed surface (typically a revolution surface or a cylinder), the first parameters represents the angle and can be smaller than 0 or bigger than 1.

smoothSpline
▸ smoothSpline(xDist, yDist, splineConfig?): FaceSketcher
Draws a cubic bezier curve to the end point, attempting to make the line smooth with the previous segment. The end point is defined by its distance to the first point.
It will base its first control point so that its tangent is the same than
the previous segment. You can force another tangent by defining
startTangent.
You can configure the tangent of the end point by configuring the
endTangent, either as "symmetric" to reproduce the start angle, as an
angle from the X axis (in the coordinate system) or a 2d direction (still
in the coordinate system.
The start- and end- factors decide on how far the control point is from the start and end point. At a factor of 1, the distance corresponds to a quarter of the straight line distance.

xDist | number |

smoothSplineTo
▸ smoothSplineTo(end, config?): FaceSketcher
Draws a cubic bezier curve to the end point, attempting to make the line smooth with the previous segment.
It will base its first control point so that its tangent is the same than the previous segment.
The control point relative to the end is by default set to be in the
direction of the straight line between start and end. You can specifiy the
endSkew either as an angle (in degrees) to this direction, or as an
absolute direction in the coordinate system (a Point).
The start- and end- factors decide on how far the control point is from the start and end point. At a factor of 1, the distance corresponds to a quarter of the straight line distance.
