On the Xerox Altos, the Draw program made a nice circle using a closed spline with 8 control points. Using X, I have to use a lot more than 8 for it to really look like a circle and even then, it's a pretty ugly circle; I think using lines segments looks nicer than XDraw splines. What type of splines does XDraw use for VertexCurved vertices? Rick p.s. I wonder how mail dozens of mail bounces I'll get on thiscertend tu
