guillemot forms

I have been printing out the Guillemot forms from the offsets in Nick's book. I used a spreadsheet then copied the resulting graph to CorelDraw for scaling. Most seem to be fine, but I was wondering what others did with form 1/2 and form 16.5, which have too few numbers to make anything except something roughly resembling a diamond shape. On all of the other forms the plotted points were frequent enough that I could round off the straight lines to make the curve fair. The biggest problem is on the top of these two forms, where the graphs give me sharp points, where they should be round. Any suggestions would be appreciated.
