- Ok. Sorry if this is a faq but does anybody know of a standard/efficient way
- of representing a set of curves and then given a point, to find a tangent to
- one or more of those curves intersecting the point? In the simplest cases it
- would be fairly trivial to do this by hand, but I want to be able to set up
- an algorithm to do so. Please mail me and I'll post a summary.
- Thanks,
- Paul Mc Auley.
