Third PCRP Example Setting the Flatness of Curves When PRESCRIBE renders any curve, it actually converts the curve to a series of connected straight line segments. The length of these line segments is referred to as a curve's flatness. You can change the degree of flatness with the FLAT (set FLATness) command. The default flatness is 1 (dot). Setting smaller values of flatness results in smoother curves, but more time is required for computing the larger number of line segments involved. (The difference is not noticeable for a single curve, but can be substantial in highly complex pages. Also, the difference is more noticeable with lower print resolutions [for example, 300 dpi resolution].) The following programs illustrate the results of setting the flatness to higher values. !R!
