Re: Circles

[Silvain Dupertuis]

You can draw a quasi perfect circle with a Bezier curve (cubic) with 4 main points.

The optimal distance between main and secondary control points is
0.5517847391957151 * radius

(you do not need as many decimal places...!)

(optimal value calculated with wxMaxima and checked with Inkscape)
