This paper describes and demonstrates the operation and performance of
an algorithm for segmenting connected points into a combination of re
presentations such as lines, circular, elliptical and superelliptical
arts, and polynomials. The algorithm has a number of interesting prope
rties including being scale invariant, nonparametric, general purpose,
and efficient.
