% curvesls.sty version 1.42 for LaTeX 2.09 and LaTeX2e. % I.L.

Rounding errors in \nscdashes and \pdashes improved. 1.16 8 May, 1993 Reduced .dvi size and dots corrected. 1.2 23 May, 1993 Variable curve symbol introduced. 1.21 8 June, 1993 \unitlength corrected in \bigcircle. 1.22 15 June, 1993 \csb@x saves curve symbol, dash pattern selection rounded. 1.23 18 June, 1993 extra \@killglue and curve smoothing, test for bad point order tightened. 1st network release. 2517 words of TeX main memory. 1.30 9 July 1993 2nd network release. Bugs Fixed: Blank curve if \csdiameter too large; Transfer of \@y and \@overhang from inner loop of \@drwarc; Missing \pt@false in \@ncsdashes and \@pdashes; Check for zero \@np in \@bezier. Improvements (?): New internal macros to save tokens; Uses LaTeX error messages and warnings; Checks \curvedashes signs; Potential conflicts with other macros reduced with new \@y, \@tc; Warns more readily and replaces possible inflexions with straight line; Some internal variable names rationalized. 2489 words of TeX main memory. 1.32 14 June 1994 3rd network release tested with LaTeX 2e of February 1994. 1.33 28 June 1994 4th network release tested with LaTeX 2e of 1 June 1994.

CURVESLS SUMMARY ---------------- The commands following are for the picture environment in the LaTeX manual. Arguments of Commands: decimal number of blank. Not negative. is anything which a \put or \multiput may plot. are decimal numbers giving alternate x and y coordinates of the curve as multiples of \unitlength, comma separated. <[,dash...]> optional continuation of alternating dash and blank numbers of unit lengths, comma separated. Not negative. Decimals allowed. is a decimal number giving the diameter in \unitlengths. is the number of symbols or patterns to be plotted, default 0. unit length dimension e.g., 2.5mm, 10pt, used in measuring blanks and dashes. Not negative. Default value is \unitlength. Lengths used by Commands: \csdiameter is the size of the space left for a symbol and can be increased or set with \settowidth{\csdiameter}{}. \curvelength is the total length of the curve calculated before drawing by using Simpson's rule once between each pair of coordinate points. \overhang length of as drawn dash pattern overlapping start of dashes. Control Commands: \curvewarntrue warns every time a straight line is used between points to avoid possible worse errors (default). \curvewarnfalse use the straight line without warning. Parameter Setting Commands: \curvesymbol{} sets symbol and \csdiameter. \curvedashes[]{<[,dash...]>} Drawing commands before a \curvedashes or after one with an empty or zero length pattern will draw: if is zero or missing, a continuous curve; else if is positive, -1 squares of line thickness size between and additional squares at coordinates or bezier end points; else if no exists, nothing; else, --1 characters or symbols between coordinates and additional ones at coordinates or bezier end points. After a \curvedashes command defining a pattern whose length exceeds zero, commands draw: if is zero or missing then at a spacing equal to the specified pattern length, if no exists, a dash pattern reduced in length by \csdiameter to fit between symbol spaces of \csdiameter, else if \overhang is not 0pt, a at all positions, else a with the first position blank; else, \csdiameter wide symbol spaces, one at and ||-1 between coordinate points with dash pattern lengths, if no exists, exact but broken by the spaces, else, adjusted to give a whole number of patterns between spaces. \diskpitchstretch is initially 1 but \renewcommand can change it to a higher value like 5 to save memory in drafts of complex documents or a lower local value like 0.5 to smooth curve digitization. \linethickness{} sets line or dash thicknesses to from 0.5pt up to 15pt (0.17mm to 5mm). \thicklines and \thinlines also set the thickness. \xscale, \xscaley, \yscale and \yscalex are scale factors initially set to 1, 0, 1 and 0 respectively which \renewcommand or \def can reset. Curve Drawing Commands: Curves drawn consist of parabolic arcs between coordinate points with tangents at each point parallel to the straight line through adjacent points. \arc[](X1,Y1){} draws a circular arc centred on current position, starting from (X1,Y1) and proceeding counterclockwise for degrees. \bezier{}(X1,Y1)(X2,Y2)(X3,Y3) draws a curve through the points (X1,Y1) and (X3,Y3) tangent to the straight lines joining them to (X2,Y2). Faster and more powerful replacement for bezier.sty version. \bigcircle[]{} draws a circle of diameter equal to times \unitlength. \closecurve[]() draws a closed curve with continuous tangents at all points. At least 6 coordinates required. \curve[]() draws a curve through the specified . For 4 coordinates this is a straight line. \scaleput(X1,Y1){} places a picture object in a position scaled by \xscale, \xscaley, \yscale and \yscalex for axonometric projection or rotations. \tagcurve[]() draws a curve without its first and last segments but if only 6 coordinates draws the last segment only.
