+\noindent
+The \LPack{pstricks} package provides (essentially) two main macros for
+drawing curves: \Lcs{pscurve} and \Lcs{psbezier}. Both macros
+employ Bezier \Index{spline}s.
+
+The \Lcs{pscurve} macro takes multiple interpolated points as
+arguments. Thus, it is easy to draw long multiply bent curves. The
+problem with \Lcs{pscurve} is that there is no easy
+way to change the automatically computed
+control points without simultaneously changing the interpolated
+points. Note that some control is possible via the
+\Lkeyword{curvature} option.
+
+The \Lcs{psbezier} macro gives full control over the
+interpolation points and the control points of one Bezier polynominal
+of degree three (two interpolated points and two control
+points).

+\section{Introduction}
+
+If one demands for the access to certain control points of one
+multiply bent curve one has to use multiple instances of the
+\Lcs{psbezier} macro. With this approache each inner interpolation
+point of the curve has to be input twice. Furthermore, if one needs
+smooth joints one has to compute control points symmetrically to the
+corresponding interpolation points for every joint even if one does
+not care so much about the exact tangential direction at some of those
+joints. That can be rather tedious.
+
+The \Lcs{psbcurve} macro of the package \LPack{pst-bezier} is intented to
+demonstrate a way to combine the nice properties of the macros
+\Lcs{pscurve} and \Lcs{psbezier}. It provides an easy input
+format to describe `arbitrarily' many interpolation points of a curve
+and to fix the control points at some freely selected interpolation
+points.
+
+Note, that \LPack{pst-bezier} is \emph{no final package} (e.g.
+the automatical computation of the control points is not as refined as
+that one for the macro \Lcs{pscurve}).
+
+\section{Installation and usage of \texttt{pst-bezier.tex}}
+\paragraph{Installation:}
+As prerequisites for \LPack{pst-bezier} you need resent working
+versions of \LaTeX{} and \LPack{pstricks}. The files
+\LFile{pst-bezier.tex} and \LFile{pst-bezier.sty} must be somewhere
+in your \TeX-input path. Further more, the file
+\LFile{pst-bezier.pro} must be in some path, where \Lprog{dvips} can
+find it.
+
+\paragraph{Usage:}
+As usual, load the packages \LPack{pstricks} and \LPack{pst-bezier}
+in that order via the \Lcs{usepackage} macro.
+
+Now you are ready to use the \Lcs{psbcurve} macro within your document
+body. This macro is described in the next section with all its options.
+
+Whith the following simple \LaTeX-source code you can test whether you have
+correctly installed the package:
+
+\begin{LTXexample}
+\documentclass{minimal}
+\usepackage{pstricks}
+\usepackage{pst-bezier}
+\begin{document}
+ \begin{pspicture}(6,4)
+ \psbcurve(1,2)(5,2) % Draw just one straight line.
+ \end{pspicture}
+\end{document}
+\end{LTXexample}
+
+
+\section{The \nxLcs{psbcurve} macro}
+In the most simple form you can specify any number of interpolation
+points as the argument of \Lcs{psbcurve}.
+
+\begin{LTXexample}
+\begin{pspicture}[showgrid=true](5,3)
+ \psbcurve(1,1)(2,2)(3,1)(4,2)
+\end{pspicture}
+\end{LTXexample}
+
+As usual, options can be specified within brackets.
+
+
+\begin{LTXexample}
+\begin{pspicture}[showgrid=true](5,3)
+ \psbcurve[showpoints=true](1,1)(2,2)(3,1)(4,2)
+\end{pspicture}
+\end{LTXexample}
+
+As you can see in the above example, the \Lkeyword{showpoints} feature works
+(partially) with \Lcs{psbcurve}.
+
+The next figure shows again the curve from the first example. This
+time labels are added to the points (this is just for the following
+description, it is not a feature of \Lcs{psbcurve}).
+
+\begin{LTXexample}
+\begin{pspicture}[showgrid=true](5,3)
+ \psbcurve[showpoints=true](1,1)(2,2)(3,1)(4,2)
+ \uput[-90](1,1){$\vec{p}_{0}=\vec{l}_{1}$}
+ \uput[90](1.5,2){$\vec{r}_{1}$}
+ \uput[90](2,2){$\vec{p}_{1}$}
+ \uput[90](2.5,2){$\vec{l}_{2}$}
+ \uput[-90](2.5,1){$\vec{r}_{2}$}
+ \uput[-90](3,1){$\vec{p}_{2}$}
+ \uput[-90](3.5,1){$\vec{l}_{3}$}
+ \uput[90](4,2){$\vec{r}_{3}=\vec{p}_{3}$}
+\end{pspicture}
+\end{LTXexample}
+
+The points labeled with $\vec{p}_{k}$ $(k=0,\dots,3)$ are the
+interpolation points, these ones labelled with $\vec{l}_{1},\hdots,\vec{l}_{3}$,
+and these ones labelled with $\vec{r}_{1},\hdots,\vec{r}_{3}$ are the left and
+right control points, respectively.
+
+Between each consecutive pair $\vec{p}_{k-1},\vec{p}_{k}$ of interpolation
+points the \Lcs{psbcurve} macro draws a cubic Bezier spline.
+The control points $\vec{l}_{k}$ and $\vec{r}_{k}$ determine the tangential
+direction of the bezier spline at the interpolation points. More
+exactly, the bezier spline from $\vec{p}_{k-1}$ to $\vec{p}_{k}$ is tangent to
+the vector $\vec{l}_{k}-\vec{p}_{k-1}$ at the point $\vec{p}_{k-1}$ and tantengial
+to the vektor $\vec{r}_{k}-\vec{p}_{k}$ at the point $\vec{p}_{k}$.
+
+Without any optional modifier arguments (described later in this text)
+the control points are computed automatically
+from the interpolation points by the formulas\footnote{Note that this
+ method is very crude. To compute the curve such that the curvature
+ is continuous would require solving a nonlinear system of
+ equations. That is not implemented yet.}
+%
+\begin{align*}
+ \vec{l}_{1}&= \vec{p}_{0}\\
+ \vec{l}_{k}&= t_{k}(\vec{p}_{k}-\vec{p}_{k-2})&&\text{for }k=2,\hdots,n\\
+ \vec{r}_{k}&= t_{k}(\vec{p}_{k-1}-\vec{p}_{k+1})&&\text{for }k=1,\hdots,n-1\\
+ \vec{r}_{n}&= \vec{p}_{n}
+\end{align*}
+%
+where $t_{k}$ $(k=1,\hdots,n)$ are real coefficients which are called
+tension and which default to the value \Lkeyword{bcurveTension}=0.25.
+
+You can change the appearance of the curve by several modifiers.
+First of all you can directly set the left and right control points
+via the modifiers \Lnotation{l}\Largr{\CAny} and \Lnotation{r}\Largr{\CAny}, resp., as
+shown in the next two examples. The unmodified curve is drawn in the
+background in {\color{blue}blue} color.
+
+
+
+\begin{LTXexample}
+\pspicture[showgrid=true](5,3)
+\psset{showpoints=true}
+\psbcurve[linecolor=blue,linewidth=0.01](1,1)%
+ (2,2)(3,1)(4,2)
+\psbcurve(1,1)l(2,1)(2,2)(3,1)r(4,1)(4,2)
+\uput[-90](2,1){$\vec{l}_{1}$}
+\uput[-90](4,1){$\vec{r}_{3}$}
+\endpspicture
+\end{LTXexample}
+
+\begin{LTXexample}
+\pspicture[showgrid=true](5,3)
+\psset{showpoints=true}
+\psbcurve[linecolor=blue,linewidth=0.01](1,1)%
+ (2,2)(3,1)(4,2)
+\psbcurve(1,1)(2,2)l(2,1)(3,1)(4,2)
+\uput[-90](2,1){$\vec{l}_{2}$}
+\endpspicture
+\end{LTXexample}
+
+
+On the right hand side the last example is shown once more without grid and
+with \Lkeyset{showpoints=false}. There, you see that there is a corner at the second
+interpolation point.
+
+
+\begin{LTXexample}
+\pspicture(5,3)
+\psbcurve(1,1)(2,2)l(2,1)(3,1)(4,2)
+\endpspicture
+\end{LTXexample}
+
+If you change some left control point $\vec{l}_{k}$ with the help of the
+\Lnotation{L}\Largr{\CAny} modifier then the control point
+$\vec{r}_{k-1}$ is set symmetrically to $\vec{l}_{k}$ with respect to the
+interpolation point $\vec{p}_{k-1}$. In that way you get a smooth joint as
+demonstrated in the next example.
+
+\begin{LTXexample}
+\pspicture[showgrid=true](5,3)
+\psbcurve[linecolor=blue,linewidth=0.01](1,1)%
+ (2,2)(3,1)(4,2)
+\psset{showpoints=true}
+\psbcurve(1,1)(2,2)L(2,1)(3,1)(4,2)
+\uput[-90](2,1){$\vec{l}_{2}$}
+\uput[0](2,2){$\vec{p}_{1}$}
+\uput[0](2,3){$\vec{r}_{1}$}
+\endpspicture
+\end{LTXexample}
+
+With the \Lnotation{t}\Largb{t} modifier you can change the tension of the
+automatically computed control points of the current Bezier spline.
+
+
+\begin{LTXexample}
+\pspicture[showgrid=true](5,3)
+\psset{showpoints=true}
+\psbcurve[linecolor=blue,linewidth=0.01](1,1)%
+ (2,2)(3,1)(4,2)
+\psbcurve(1,1)(2,2)t{0.5}(3,1)(4,2)
+\endpspicture
+\end{LTXexample}
+
+
+As you can see from the example both control points of the current
+spline are affected by the \Lnotation{t}\Largb{t} modifier.
+If you want to change the tension of just the left or right control
+point you can use the \Lnotation{tl}\Largb{t} or \Lnotation{tr}\Largb{t} modifier,
+respectively, as demonstrated in the following two examples.
+
+\begin{LTXexample}
+\pspicture[showgrid=true](5,3)
+\psset{showpoints=true}
+\psbcurve[linecolor=blue,linewidth=0.01](1,1)%
+ (2,2)(3,1)(4,2)
+\psbcurve(1,1)%
+ (2,2)tl{0.5}(3,1)(4,2)
+\endpspicture
+\end{LTXexample}
+
+
+\begin{LTXexample}
+\pspicture[showgrid=true](5,3)
+\psset{showpoints=true}
+\psbcurve[linecolor=blue,linewidth=0.01](1,1)%
+ (2,2)(3,1)(4,2)
+\psbcurve(1,1)(2,2)tr{0.5}(3,1)(4,2)
+\endpspicture
+\end{LTXexample}
+
+
+The \Lnotation{ts}\Largb{t} modifier changes the tension of the left and right
+control points next to the interpolation point which stands in front
+of the modifier. In the next example a negative tension value leads to
+a rather surprising effect.
+
+\begin{LTXexample}
+\pspicture[showgrid=true](5,3)
+\psset{showpoints=true}
+\psbcurve[linecolor=blue,linewidth=0.01](1,1)%
+ (2,2)(3,1)(4,2)
+\psbcurve(1,1)(2,2)ts{-0.5}(3,1)(4,2)
+\endpspicture
+\end{LTXexample}
+
+The default value of the tension can be set with the option
+\Lkeyword{bcurveTension} as in the following example.
+
+
+\begin{LTXexample}
+\pspicture[showgrid=true](5,3)
+\psset{showpoints=true}
+\psbcurve[linecolor=blue,linewidth=0.01](1,1)%
+ (2,2)(3,1)(4,2)
+\psbcurve[bcurveTension=0.5](1,1)%
+ (2,2)(3,1)(4,2)
+\endpspicture
+\end{LTXexample}
+
+You can set this option also with the help of the \Lcs{psset} macro.
+%
+It is even possible to change the value of \Lkeyword{bcurveTension} in the
+middle of a \Lcs{psbcurve}. Just use the modifier \Lnotation{T}\Largb{t} for
+that purpose as shown in the following example.
+
+\begin{LTXexample}
+\pspicture[showgrid=true](5,6)
+\psset{showpoints=true}
+\psbcurve[linecolor=blue,linewidth=0.01](1,1)%
+ (2,2)(3,1)(4,2)(4,4)(3,5)%
+ (2,4)(1,5)
+\psbcurve(1,1)(2,2)(3,1)(4,2)%
+ T{0.5}(4,4)(3,5)(2,4)(1,5)
+\endpspicture
+\end{LTXexample}
+
+Certainly, you can use the \Lnotation{T}\Largb{t} modifier several times in one
+curve. (Try it for yourself.)
+%
+The \texttt{linestyle} and \texttt{fillstyle} options (and several
+more) are respected by \Lcs{psbcurve} as the following example shows.
+
+\begin{LTXexample}
+\pspicture[showgrid=true](5,3)
+\psbcurve[linestyle=dashed,
+ linewidth=3pt,
+ dash=0.5 0.2,
+ fillstyle=solid,
+ fillcolor=blue](1,1)(2,2)(3,1)(4,2)
+\endpspicture
+\end{LTXexample}
+
+\section{Things that do not work (`known bugs')}
+As already mentioned this project is something like an experiment. So,
+there are many things that do not work.
+
+\begin{itemize}
+\item new lines inside the argument list are not ignored.
+\item The control points are computed in a rather crude way (see
+ above). The \Lkeyword{curvature} option is not recognised.
+\item If \Lkeyword{fillstyle} is set to \Lkeyword{solid} and
+ \Lkeyset{showpoints=true} then the fill color covers the interpolation and control points.
+\item arrow heads do not work.
+\end{itemize}
