LaTeX can be used for drawing quadratic Bezier curves. The bez123 package provides additional facilities for drawing linear, cubic, and rational quadratic Bezier curves. The multiply package provides a command for multiplication of a length without numerical overflow. The distribution consists of the following files: README (this file) bez123.ins bez123.dtx The distribution is provided under the terms of the LaTeX Project Public License (LPPL). To install the package: o run: latex bez123.ins (which will generate bez123.sty and multiply.sty) o run: latex bez123.dtx (Note that bez123.dtx requires bez123.sty. Several Package Warning messages will occur, but these can be ignored.) o run: makeindex -s gind.ist bez123 o run: latex bez123.dtx o Print bez123.dvi for a hardcopy of the package manual o Move bez123.sty and multiply.sty to a location where LaTeX will find them. 1998/10/14 Peter Wilson peter.r.wilson@boeing.com
