\class RooCurve
\ingroup Roofitcore
 
A RooCurve is a one-dimensional graphical representation of a real-valued function.
A curve is approximated by straight line segments with end points chosen to give
a "good" approximation to the true curve. The goodness of the approximation is
controlled by a precision and a resolution parameter.
 
A RooCurve derives from TGraph, so it can either be drawn as a line (default) or
as points:
```
RooPlot *p = y.plotOn(x.frame());
p->getAttMarker("curve_y")->SetMarkerStyle(20);
p->setDrawOptions("curve_y","PL");
p->Draw();
```
 
To retrieve a RooCurve from a RooPlot, use RooPlot::getCurve().
