curveprecision(3G)

curveprecision - sets number of line segments used to draw a curve segment

As shipped in IRIX 6.5.7. Unchanged since IRIX 6.5.

NAME
     curveprecision - sets number of line segments used to draw a curve
     segment

C SPECIFICATION
     void curveprecision(nsegments)
     short nsegments;

PARAMETERS
     nsegments   expects the number of line segments to use when drawing a
                 curve segment.

DESCRIPTION
     curveprecision sets the number of line segments used to draw a curve.
     Whenever crv, crvn, rcrv, or rcrvn execute, a number of straight line
     segments approximate each curve segment.  The greater the value of
     nsegments, the smoother the curve appears, but the longer the drawing
     time.
