NAME

curveprecision − sets the number of line segments that draw a curve segment

SPECIFICATION

C
curveprecision(nsegments)
short nsegments;

FORTRAN
subroutine curvep(nsegments)
integer*4 nsegments

Pascal
procedure curveprecision(nsegments: short);

DESCRIPTION

curveprecision sets the number of line segments used to draw a curve.  Whenever crv, crvn, rcrv, or rcrvn 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.
