Remarks
Updates the pnCurve array based on a curve or lines that pass through the specified points.
This method will update pnCurve using either the best curve or lines that pass through the points specified in the apUserPoint parameter. The points in the array may be sorted or not. In most cases, this method is used with the FreeHandShear, or FreeHandWave methods.
To compute the size of the pnCurve array:
Size = Maximum (apUserPoint.x) + 1;
The values stored in pnCurve represent the y coordinates of the calculated curve based on the points in the apUserPoint array. In the pnCurve array there can be only one y value for each x coordinate. Therefore, circles, ellipses, and spirals cannot be represented by pnCurve.
The x coordinates for the user points are sorted internally automatically.
