      Draws curves in the standard LaTeX picture environment using
      parabolas between data points with continuous slope at
      joins. For circles and arcs uses up to 16 parabolas. Also draws
      symbols or dash patterns along curves. Equivalent to technical
      pens with compasses and French curves. Curves consist of short
      secants drawn by overlapping disks or line drawing \specials
      selected by package options.
