67	67	Next it uses Qhull calls in {\tt qhull.c} (appendix \ref{file_qhull.c}) to
68		calculate the convex hull of the free energy function. It strips out the
69		smallest triangles, that is, those which are in the single-phase region,
70		leaving two- and three-phase regions with tie lines. It displays the remaining
71		facets using transparent triangles with black edges, which clearly show the tie
72		lines in the two-phase regions.
	68	calculate the convex hull of the free energy function. It refines the
	69	multi-phase triangles using Newton iteration to find the lowest-energy point
	70	starting at each corner. And it optionally refines the one-phase triangles at
	71	their centroids.

	109	The new Newton refining code in {\tt qhull.c}, which uses new free energy
	110	derivative functions in {\tt freenergy.c}, gives {\tt Ternary} the ability to
	111	accurately predict binodal boundaries. Another new function in {\tt
	112	freenergy.c} calculates the shape of the spinodal curve.
