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. + +INSTALLATION + +If your LaTeX system is comprehensive curves.sty may already be +installed. Download `curves.dtx' and run + + $ latex curves.dtx + +If you get the error message: + + ! LaTeX Error: File `curves.sty' not found. + +curves is not installed. If you get messages about `\straighttrue' +undefined you need to upgrade `curves.sty'. If LaTeX stops processing +with anything else press `S' then `Enter'. + +Use the following if you wish to install or upgrade `curves.sty'. +Download `curves.ins' and run + + $ latex curves.ins + +which will generate `curves.sty' and `curvesls.sty' from `curves.dtx'. +To install curves you need to put `curves.sty' on your TeX search path +as root or administrator and run `mktexlsr' or equivalent to update +the TeX file databases. + +USE + +Download and read `curves.pdf' for instructions and simple examples. + +MANIFEST + +The program curves consists of the following files: + +Name Description +---------------------------------------------------------- +README This file. +curves.dtx Source for all files below. +curves.ins Used by LaTeX in generating .sty files. +curves.pdf Instructions for use of curves. +curves.sty Used by LaTeX to run curves commands. +curvesls.sty Obsolete and deprecated since 2000. +latex2pdf Example script using latex, dvips and ps2pdf + to give smaller PDFs with curves dvips option. + +%% End of file `README'. -- cgit v1.2.3
