/*
 * <cite from GNU ghostscript's gxpflat.c>
 *
 * To calculate how many points to sample along a path in order to
 * approximate it to the desired degree of flatness, we define
 *      dist((x,y)) = abs(x) + abs(y);
 * then the number of points we need is
 *      N = 1 + sqrt(3/4 * D / flatness),
 * where
 *      D = max(dist(p0 - 2*p1 + p2), dist(p1 - 2*p2 + p3)).
 * Since we are going to use a power of 2 for the number of intervals,
 * we can avoid the square root by letting
 *      N = 1 + 2^(ceiling(log2(3/4 * D / flatness) / 2)).
 * (Reference: DEC Paris Research Laboratory report #1, May 1989.)
 *
 * We treat two cases specially.  First, if the curve is very
 * short, we halve the flatness, to avoid turning short shallow curves
 * into short straight lines.  Second, if the curve forms part of a
 * character (indicated by flatness = 0), we let
 *      N = 1 + 2 * max(abs(x3-x0), abs(y3-y0)).
 * This is probably too conservative, but it produces good results.
