  abstract =     "This paper describes a simple technique for evaluating
                 the length of a parametric curve. The technique
                 approximates sections of the curve to the arc of a
                 circle using only sample points on the curve; no
                 computation of derivatives or other properties is
                 required. This method is almost as quick to implement
                 and compute as chord-length summation, but it is much
                 more accurate. It also provides recursion criteria for
                 adaptive sampling. An extension of the algorithm to
                 estimate the area of a parametric surface is discussed
                 briefly.",
