- Does anyone have an electronic copy of either Pitteway's 1967 algorithm for
- drawing ellipses and hyperbolae, or Van Aken's rework of same? Either a
- copy of the algorithm or a sample implementation would be appreciated as
- would any recommendations for alternative preferred solutions. Before anyone
- tells me I am aware that the algorithm is discussed in Foley and Van Dam but
- I am looking for something more complete.
