Both are part of the joke. I shouldn't explain it because that is like disecting a frog. The frog dies and nobody cares. :-)
But geometrically in any line there are an infinite number of points, because a point is an infinitely small coordinate. That's if by point you mean literally points in the geometrical sense. But if you mean how many pixels on a given display to create a visually smooth curve, well that is another matter. And if by points you meant anchors in a vector based drawing program, why typically 4 points, although 3 will do, I just don't know how perfect the circle can be and I thing an oval would require 4. See? The frog died and nobody cares! Bob S > On Jul 31, 2017, at 08:34 , hh via use-livecode > <use-livecode@lists.runrev.com> wrote: > >> Bob S. wrote: >> By strict geometry, an infinite amount.
