Hi!
I my opinion you should do both. The 1st option is good when the user don't know
how to do the "trick" of the 2nd option. The 1st is what a newbie user would expect.

Proposed names: (joe should confirm)
ConnectCurves
AutoConnectCurves

In the first option it would be great to receive more than 2 points selected and
connect the closest ones.

I hope this helps.

Cheers!
