Try using viewres to increase the accuracy of the curve
representation on the screen. At high magnifications the
location of the "real" curve and the vector approximations on the
screen can be very different.

(George McDuffee)
There is something to be said for government by a great aristocracy
which has furnished leaders to the nation in peace and war for
generations;
even a democrat like myself must admit this.
But there is absolutely nothing to be said for government by a plutocracy,
for government by men very powerful in certain lines and gifted with the
"money touch,"
but with ideals which in their essence are merely those of so many
glorified pawnbrokers.
Theodore Roosevelt (1858-1919), U.S. Republican (later Progressive)
politician, president. Letter, 15 Nov. 1913.
