- PostScript approximates each quadrant of a circle with a curveto.
-
- e.g. If you do a pathforall against 0 0 125 0 360 arc, you should
- find something like:
-
- 125 0 moveto
- 125 69 69 125 0 125 curveto
- -69 125 -125 69 -125 0 curveto
- -125 -69 -69 -125 0 -125 curveto
- 69 -125 125 -69 125 0 curveto
-
- BTW, This question properly belongs in comp.lang.postscript; it's
- not the least bit NeXT-specific.
