% This package provides the pgf system path abstraction layer. This
% layer is used to construct paths first ``abstractly.'' These
% abstract paths can still be modified, before they are ``made
% concrete.'' 
%
% An abstract path consists of a sequence of basic building blocks,
% each of which is a tuple consisting of two numbers (specifying a
% coordinate) and a token. Possible tokens are:
%
% 1. moveto
% 2. lineto
% 3. rectcorner
% 4. rectsize
% 5. curvetosupporta
% 6. curvetosupportb
% 7. curveto
% 8. closepath
% 9. specialround
%
% A curveto must always be preceeded by a curvetosupporta and a
% curvetosupportb. A non-empty path must always begin with a
% moveto. The coordinates of a closepath are non-specified, currently, 
% but they might be set to the coordinate of the path segment start,
% in the future.


% Access to the current path:
%
% Lots of stuff is added to the current path and it can get very long
% (containing literally tens of thousands of tokens). For such macros,
% adding things using a simple "g@addtomacro" takes more and more
% time, resulting in quadratic runtime. To avoid this, ideally, one
% would collect things in an array and then use a divide and conquer
% merger. A simple intermediate solution is the following, implemented
% here: We have the path and two buffers. New tokens are added to the
% first buffer, which is quite small. When it overflow, its contents
% is added to the second buffer, which is large. If that buffer
% overflow, the contents is finally added to the main path (which can
% have arbitrary length). Whenever the main path is set or read, the
% buffers are flushed.
%
% Because of this buffering, it is imperative that the main path is
% accessed only via appropriate interface macros.
