Announcement text: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- bpolynomial v0.5, released on 2007-12-12
Description ----------- The MetaPost package bpolynomial helps plotting polynomial and root functions. It provides macros to calculate one-segment Bezier curves exactly matching a given cubic polynomial or square or cubic root function. Additionally, tangents on all functions and derivatives of polynomials can be calculated.
Changes in v0.5: * New: + The package can now compute paths of square and cubic roots. + Added a plain interface. * Changes: + Improved documentation. ----------------------------------------------------------------------
