Description

• 

The curve command creates a two- or three-dimensional plot data object, which when displayed is a curve joining points in the specified list. The first argument to curve must be a list of points.  They can be either 2-D or 3-D.

• 

The plot data object produced by the curve command can be used in a PLOT or PLOT3D data structure, or displayed using the plots:-display command.

• 

Remaining arguments are interpreted as options, which are specified as equations of the form option = value.  For more information, see plottools, plot/options and plot3d/option.
