+  Items of type \ident{curve} display pathes of line segments and/or cubic bezier connected
+  by their end points. A cubic Bezier is defined by four points. The first and last
+  ones are the extremities of the cubic Bezier. The second and the third ones are control point
+  (i.e. they must have a third ``coordinate'' with the value 'c'). If both control points
+  are identical, one may be omitted. As a consequence, it is an error to have more than
+  two succcessive control points or to start or finish a curve with a control point. 
+
+  The polygon delimited by the path can optionally be filled.
   It is possible to build curve items with more than one path to
   describe complex shapes with the \cmdref{contour} command. This command can be used to
   perform boolean operations between a curve and almost any other item available in TkZinc
