However, these are also large packages that take long to load and +may not always work on all drivers. The standard pict2e package removes many +of the previous limitations of the `old' LaTeX |picture| environment and makes +it a _lean and portable_ alternative to the more full featured packages. +However, even though it can draw circles and circle arcs well, it lacks the +ability to draw ellipses, ovals, and elliptical arcs. This package adds these +functions on top of the standard pict2e primitives (i.e. the \cbezier command). + +LICENSE + +Copyright (c) 2015 Daan Leijen. + +This software is author-maintained.
