Date: September 1, 2008 9:48:02 PM CEST
On Fri, 29 Aug 2008 Ian Maclaine-cross submitted an update to the
curves
package.
Location on CTAN: /macros/latex/contrib/curves/
Summary description: Draws curves and polygons in the LaTeX 2e picture environment.
License type: lppl
Announcement text:
Draws curves in the LaTeX 2e picture environment using parabolic arcs between data points with continuous slope at joins. For circles and circular arcs uses up to 16 parabolic arcs. Also draws symbols or dash patterns along curves. A straight side switch changes curves to polygons. Extends picture capability without extra programs and data files. Parabolic arcs consist of short chords drawn by overlapping disks or line drawing `\special's selected by package options. New in version 1.52: Polygon drawing and improved documentation.
This package is located at http://tug.ctan.org/tex-archive/macros/latex/contrib/curves/ . More information is at http://tug.ctan.org/pkg/curves (if the package is new it may take a day for that information to appear). We are supported by the TeX Users Group http://www.tug.org .

curves – Curves for LaTeX picture environment
This package draws curves in the standard LaTeX picture environment using parabolas between data points with continuous slope at joins; for circles and arcs, it uses up to 16 parabolas. The package can also draw symbols or dash patterns along curves.
The package provides facilities equivalent to technical pens with compasses and French curves. Curves consist of short secants drawn by overlapping disks or line-drawing \special commands selected by package options.
