I have been using this great program on the web http://daid.eu/~daid/3d/

And it has generated a polygon statement that looks like this:

polygon([[0,16/1:0,0,0,0/] ,[0.97,16.38] ,[1.98,16.65] ,[3.06,16.83]
,[4.08,16.89] ,[5.18,16.83] ,[6.21,16.65]
,[7.28,16.32],[8,16/1:-4,2,2,2/] ,[8.09,14.94] ,[7.61,13.98]
,[7.14,13.06] ,[6.64,12.14] ,[6.13,11.23],[6,11],[2,11]]);

what does the 16/1:0,0,0,0/  mean?
I've never seen that before.

I think that's used to remember the bezier parameters, so
if you copy&paste that back into the editor, it will know
about the bezier control points.

ciao,
