[postgis-users] Three point ARC to MULTILINESTRING

[Bruce Rindahl]

Paul
Do we have any documentation on this?  I checked latest but there is 
limited info there.

This is a great post but I don't think anyone answered it.

I would love to add this to the asSVG since SVG handles circular arcs.  
Where are we on the other issues  for support (i.e area(), psql2shp, 
length(), etc.)?

Thanks!
