This package draws curves in the standard LaTeX picture
environment using parabolas between data points with continuous
slope at joins; for circles and arcs, it uses up to 16
parabolas. The package can also draw symbols or dash patterns
along curves. The package provides facilities equivalent to
technical pens with compasses and French curves. Curves consist
of short secants drawn by overlapping disks or line-drawing
\special commands selected by package options.
Paths come from the repository package-file index for the observed builds. They describe archive/package associations, not every file that will exist on a running system after maintainer scripts, alternatives, generated state, diversions, or installation choices.
Each row is recorded package-index metadata for one version, architecture, suite, and repository. Names, URLs, and sizes are source-reported; a link is a potentially mutable retrieval location, not an OpenFactory redistribution claim or proof that OpenFactory retained the artifact bytes.
