I will look into it but I am not trying to draw functions in LaTeX. The 
idea is almost the opposite. Given, say, a rational function, I want to 
get a qualitative graph—done in Intaglio—that I get from (Laurent) 
polynomial approximations both at infinity and at the poles. So, polynom 
gives me exactly what I need at infinity and so it was tempting to try 
and get the same near x_0.

This is not a burning issue because right now I do that on paper and I 
made a template to put in LaTeX.
