[Blindmath] Determining shape coordinates when using SVGDraw01

[Richard Baldwin]

Here is a list of links to web pages that explain more about shapes,
curves, etc., than I ever knew existed. Many of them contain the equations
required to produce the shapes:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_geometric_shapes

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_curves

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_surfaces

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_circle_topics

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_triangle_topics

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unicode_Geometric_Shapes

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/B%C3%A9zier_curve

One approach to using this information would be to use a spreadsheet to
evaluate the equations for a shape or curve, create the x and y coordinate
values that define the curve, write those coordinate values out into a CSV
file, import the CSV file into SVGDraw01, draw, and emboss it.
