I've just checked in support for adaptive plotting for parametric plots.
I've currently made it the default, but if there are issues, you can set
use_adaptive_parametric_plot to false to get the original method. If
adaptive plotting works out well, the variable use_adaptive_parametric_plot
will be removed.
For an example, compare:
use_adaptive_parametric_plot:false;
plot2d([parametric, fresnel_c(t), fresnel_s(t), [t,0,100],[nticks, 1000]]);
versus:
use_adaptive_parametric_plot:true;
plot2d([parametric, fresnel_c(t), fresnel_s(t),[t,0,100]]);
Hope this is useful,
Ray
