PostScript approximates each quadrant of a circle with a curveto. e.g. If you do a pathforall against 0 0 125 0 360 arc, you should find something like: 125 0 moveto 125 69 69 125 0 125 curveto -69 125 -125 69 -125 0 curveto -125 -69 -69 -125 0 -125 curveto 69 -125 125 -69 125 0 curveto BTW, This question properly belongs in comp.lang.postscript; it's not the least bit NeXT-specific. -=EPS=-
