Bezier Madness is a general-purpose graphics design and drawing package. It provides
a number of "standard" design tools such as lines and rectangles, but it
also include a number of unique drawing tools, including mesh-grids, sine waves,
Bezier curves and Quadratic Splines.
Design descriptions are saved in a file
with a .BEZ extension. If necessary, these description files may be edited in
Notepad. Final graphics designs may be saved in any of a number of graphics
file formats, including .BMP, .JPG, and .GIF formats.
New with version 5.2 is the ability to save drawings in .SVG format. However,
this format does not yet support including text in the .SVG file.
All objects may be moved around in a design after they are placed onto the canvas.
Every object may have associated text, and as objects are moved the associated text
tracks along with them.
This package is updated frequently. Check back often to get the latest version.
