+Catenary curve to model hanging wires, etc.
+
+Although the equation of the curve is simply ```y = a cosh(x / a)``` there is no explicit formula to calculate the constant ```a``` or the range of ```x``` given the
+length of the cable and the end point coordinates. See <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Catenary#Determining_parameters>. The Newton-Raphson method is used to find
+```a``` numerically, see <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Newton%27s_method>.
+
+The coordinates of the lowest point on the curve can be retrieved by calling ```catenary_points()``` with ```steps``` equal to zero.
