  Errata:
  
  • Page 2, bottom right: If control points are placed non-uniformly in ray direction, the resulting v parameter may have a large margin of error because the algorithm computes v in 2D space. To compensate this, we should add a subexpression about z in the maximum depth computation. (Thanks to Emil Kirichev)
  • Page 4, Figure 5: "c" in "Vector p = c.evaluate(v);" should be the whole curve because "v" is computed for it. (Thanks to Emil Kirichev)
  • Page 4, Figure 5: "q.z" should be "p.z".

  psvn.el.new A quick fix for psvn.el, for supporting subversion 1.7. psvn.el.diff is a diff for the original. You can also utilize this psvn to enable vc by adding the following to your .emacs (the following works correctly on emacs 23.3.1).
