Fair enough John.  It was only a quick attempt because the image you
posted had really jagged steps on the curves.  I've posted another quick
effort to the same URL, but again it needs more work to straighten out
as I've introduced more steps myself which I'm unhappy with.

I'm trying to get a whole host of things working at the moment, but will
try again soon.
