Description

Converts the Path into a Path containing only BezierCurve segments.  The created BezierCurve path is a Generalization of the original path that has a maximum deviation of maxDeviation from the original path.  If maxDeviation = 0, all of the original vertices are maintained.  At each vertex, the adjoining BezierCurves have complementary tangents which creates a continuous (smooth) transition between segments.
