In an earlier article I write:

: LaTeX picture environment limits the slopes for lines. But the PIC
: language provides a decent mechanism for drawing lines of any slope in the
: troff environment. Is there something similar in LaTeX?

: I will summarize if I get additional information via email.

: Thanks,

I received email indicating the following solutions.

1. EEpic macros which can draw lines of any slope. The limitation being
   the slope has to be specified as integers.

2. Using xy-pic which allows line slopes of the order of 0.7

3. Using bezier.sty and giving appropriate control points for generating
   lines.
