Hi Tiemo, My apologies if there was a regression due to tsNet in those particular versions. Between tsNet 1.2.7 and tsNet 1.2.8, the only change to the Windows build was an update of the underlying curl library that tsNet uses. While that does open the possibility for a regression, the

Both are part of the joke. I shouldn't explain it because that is like disecting a frog. The frog dies and nobody cares. :-) But geometrically in any line there are an infinite number of points, because a point is an infinitely small coordinate. That's if by point you mean literally points in

Re: Points of Graphic Oval

The obvious method for generating the points of an oval—use a loop that generates sin(x) & cos(x) coördinate-pairs—has already been mentioned. What's *not* so obvious, is that the points generated by that method are not evenly spaced! Not unless you're working with a perfect circle, anyway. For
