Each of these control types can be set with No Controller, or with Nulls, Cubes, Squares, Pyramids, or Diamond objects:

Point Type

Creates control objects that move the points of the curve and smoothly interpolate without skin stretching.

Path Type

Creates control objects that are path-constrained to the splines at length percentages.

Offset Type

Creates control objects that are used for the translation (for pinching of wrinkles and facial expressions) and rotation (twisting along the curve) of the splines for areas like the lips.
