texlive-bezierplot 2025.2

Approximate smooth function graphs with cubic Bezier splines

This package consists of a Lua program as well as a (Lua)LaTeX .sty file. Given a smooth function, bezierplot returns a smooth Bezier path written in TikZ notation, which also matches MetaPost, that approximates the graph of the function. For polynomial functions of degree lesser or equal to 3 and their inverses the approximation is exact (up to numeric precision). bezierplot also finds special points such as extreme points and inflection points and reduces the number of used points.

Installation

Install texlive-bezierplot 2025.2 as follows:

guix install texlive-bezierplot@2025.2

Or install the latest version:

guix install texlive-bezierplot

The texlive-bezierplot package provides more outputs besides the default (out). You can install them by appending :output-name to the package specification. For example:

guix install texlive-bezierplot:doc

You can also install packages in augmented, pure or containerized environments for development or simply to try them out without polluting your user profile. See the guix shell documentation for more information.
