integer*4 nsegments

Pascal
procedure curveprecision(nsegments: Short);

DESCRIPTION

curveprecision sets the number of line segments used in drawing curves.  Whenever crv or crvn is executed, each curve segment is approximated by nsegments straight line segments.  The greater the value of nsegments the smoother the curve.
