Re: gEDA-user: arcs in pcb

     Is there any way to get better resolution?  One degree is 25 mils at
     my radius.

   Sure, draw yourself a nice short straight segment. If your arc is extra
   ordinarily thick, draw a trapezoidal polygon instead.
   The point here is that even a 1 degree arc "at your radius" is
   virtually indistinguishable from a 25mil straight line (the worst case
   centerline is +/- 0.11 mils from the straight approximation) unless it
   is extremely thick in which case it is virtually indistinguishable from
   a trapezoid. Smaller angles are even more like straight lines.
