A curve is a mathematical representation of a 3D curve, used in place of an edge when high computational efficiency is required. Curves hold a count of the number of edges that refer to the curve, and provide a route to the details of individual curve types (straight lines, ellipses, circles, and spline curves). Curves are implemented as both a C++ class and a Scheme data type.
