Picture commands


#decl422#
The || command can be used in |picture| mode to draw a quadratic bezier curve from position |(;SPMlt;AX;SPMgt;,;SPMlt;AY;SPMgt;)| to |(;SPMlt;CX;SPMgt;,;SPMlt;CY;SPMgt;)| with control point |(;SPMlt;BX;SPMgt;,;SPMlt;BY;SPMgt;)|. The optional argument <#425#>N<#425#> gives the number of points on the curve. For example, the diagram:

#picture427#
is drawn with:

The || command is the same, except that the argument <#433#>N<#433#> is not optional. It is provided for compatibility with the LATEX~2.09 |bezier| document style option.
