Command |
Marks a circular helix from the current position, described by the given absolute center-point co-ordinates and sweep angle.
public void AppendArcAbs( double x, double y, double z, double sweep )
Appends a MARK_ARC_3D_ABS command to the list.
The geometry of circular arcs, as implemented on the SP-ICE-3 Card, is discussed in 9.1.2 Arcs.
In 3D, the arc describes part of a helix whose axis of rotation is parallel to the z-axis.
Note that Transformation is only applied to the center point and not to the individual points on the circle.
