the pro strats
22:35
<~Vornicus>
sigh
22:36
<~Vornicus>
there's a *number* for this
22:36
<~Vornicus>
you plug it into your bezier as (1, 0) (1, x) (x, 1) (0, 1), and you get a cubic bezier that matches a quarter circle
22:37
<~Vornicus>
(it's 4 * (sqrt(2) - 1) / 3)
22:43
<~Vornicus>
he may think he's being unnecessarily clever but this is *exactly how it is done* in some things
22:51
<~Vornicus>
The operators that produce arcs (arc, arcn, arct, and arcto) represent them internally as one or more Bézier cubic curves (see curveto) that approximate the
22:51
<~Vornicus>
required shape. This is done with sufficient accuracy that a faithful rendition of
22:51
<~Vornicus>
an arc is produced. However, a program that reads the constructed path using
22:51
<~Vornicus>
pathforall will encounter curveto segments where arcs were specified originally
22:51
<~Vornicus>
...that didn't paste well
22:52
<~Vornicus>
But that is from the postscript reference manual
22:54
<~Vornicus>
https://www.adobe.com/content/dam/acom/en/devnet/actionscript/articles/psrefman.pdf page 365 (373 counting frontmatter) describes the arc operator; the last full paragraph is quoted above

I appear to be grumpy
