curveprecision(3G) curveprecision(3G)
NAME
curveprecision - sets the number of line segments that make
up a curve segment
SPECIFICATION
C curveprecision(nsegments)
short nsegments;
FORTRAN subroutine curvep(nsegments)
integer*4 nsegments
DESCRIPTION
curveprecision sets the number of line segments used to draw
a curve. Whenever crv, crvn, rcrv, or rcrn executes, a
number of straight line segments (nsegments) approximates
each curve segment. The greater the value of nsegments, the
smoother the curve, but the longer the drawing takes.
