There are a number of ways to approach this.  Probably the simplest thing to do
is get the book _Graphics Gems_, editted by Andrew Glassner, Academic Press.
Look at the gem "An Algorithm For Automatically Fitting Digitized Curves," by
Philip J. Schneider, pp. 612-626.  You may not want to wade through all the math
and the pseudo-code in the article, but the C source code is available on the
net, and is listed in the back of the book.  This code can, with very little
effort, be made to generate PostScript.
