I don't have access to GIMP right now but if I recall correctly, the
PDB's description of the third parameter is misleading; it is actually
the number of "coordinates" and not the number of "points".
Also, note that each vertex of your triangle will require three
points: the anchor plus the two bezier control handles. This means
that your stroke call will need to pass 18 coordinates overall.
(gimp-vectors-stroke-new-from-points 1037 0 18
#( ix1 iy1 ax1 ay1 oy1 oy1
ix2 iy2 ax2 ay2 oy2 oy2
ix3 iy3 ax3 ay3 oy3 oy3 ) TRUE)
ix and iy are the coordinates of the incoming control handle
ax and ay are the coordinates of the anchor
ox and oy are the coordinates of the outgoing control handle
For straight lines, the control handle coordinates are identical to
the anchor's coordinates.
(Again, this is from memory and may not be perfectly correct.)
