Description
Specifies the next segment in the current line as an elliptical arc.
Inputs
- cx
- The x coordinate of the center of the arc.
- cy
- The y coordinate of the center of the arc.
- cz
- The z coordinate of the center of the arc.
- nx
- The x coordinate of the vector that is the normal of the arc.
- ny
- The y coordinate of the vector that is the normal of the arc.
- nz
- The z coordinate of the vector that is the normal of the arc.
- ax
- The x coordinate of the vector that is the major axis of the arc.
- ay
- The y coordinate of the vector that is the major axis of the arc.
- az
- The z coordinate of the vector that is the major axis of the arc.
- ratio
- The ratio of the length of the minor axis over the length of the major axis.
- sx
- The x coordinate of the start of the arc.
- sy
- The y coordinate of the start of the arc.
- sz
- The z coordinate of the start of the arc.
- ex
- The x coordinate of the end of the arc.
- ey
- The y coordinate of the end of the arc.
- ez
- The z coordinate of the end of the arc.
Example
The direction of the arc is specified by the normal and major axes using the right-hand rule (negating the normal while leaving the remainder of the arc unchanged gives you the complement of the original arc.)
This command is only valid after a call to HMIN_startline() and before the corresponding call to HMIN_endline().
Errors
None.
