modular function in LibreCAD

the standard glibc fmod(x, a) is not convenient here, since we need a modular function work the same way for both positive and negative numbers, instead, we use,

remainder(x - 0.5*a,a)+0.5*a



  \operatorname{erfc}(x) =
  \frac{2}{\sqrt{\pi}} \int_x^{\infty} e^{-t^2}\,dt =
  \frac{e^{-x^2}}{x\sqrt{\pi}}\sum_{n=0}^\infty (-1)^n \frac{(2n)!}{n!(2x)^{2n}}
