## Picture commands

`\qbezier[<N>](<AX>,<AY>)(<BX>,<BY>)(<CX>,<CY>)`
`\bezier{<N>}(<AX>,<AY>)(<BX>,<BY>)(<CX>,<CY>)`

The `\qbezier` command can be used in `picture` mode to draw a quadratic Bezier curve from position `(<AX>,<AY>)` to `(<CX>,<CY>)` with control point `(<BX>,<BY>)`. The optional argument <N> gives the number of points on the curve.

For example, the diagram:

is drawn with:

       \begin{picture}(50,50)
          \thicklines
          \qbezier(0,0)(0,50)(50,50)
          \qbezier[20](0,0)(50,0)(50,50)
          \thinlines
          \put(0,0){\line(1,1){50}}
       \end{picture}

The `\bezier` command is the same, except that the argument <N> is not optional. It is provided for compatibility with the LATEX 2.09 `bezier` document style option.
