arc

arc

arc(r,a,da,np)

        Returns the line regular polygonal 3D np points listed in the arc of a circle of radius r, starting at the angle a and opening da.

arc(r,a,da,np,2)

Returns the same polygonal line, but in 2D.

arc(r,a,da,np,dimp,dr)

        Returns the polygonal line (dimp = 2: 2D dimp = 3: 3D) np points included in the initial radius r spiral, starting at the angle a, da opening and increasing radius = dr * angle.

Examples:

        a=arc(100,0,2*PI,5);edit a;
