== Overview ==

Add support to the FDO Geometry API for additional parametric geometry types: Circles, Elliptical Arcs, Cubic Splines and B-Splines.

== Motivation ==

Since the FDO API will continue to be used by new and existing clients as an interchange format, support is required for additional parametric geometry types. Specifically support for elliptical arc, cubic spline, and bspline segments. This will allow more accurate interchange of parametric geometry from Civil, Pegasus and AutoCAD DWGs without having to tessellate and either lose or create ad-hoc storage for parametric geometry information.
