generate-arc-from-quads

function generateArcFromQuads(c: number[], p1: number[], p2: number[]): number[][][]

Defined in create/generate-arc-from-quads.ts:47

Returns an arc approximation using unit eighth circle quadratic bezier curves. The result is returned as an array of quadratic bezier curves.

  • if the last returned arc is approximately smaller than 2**-40 of a quarter circle it is not added to the returned value
  • if the last returned arc is approximately (1 - 2**-40) of a quarter circle a full quarter circle is added to the returned value

Parameters:​

NameTypeDescription
cnumber[]arc circle center
p1number[]arc goes from this point
p2number[]to a point on a line from c to this point (since the problem is over-specified) (if p1 and p2 lies on a line through c a full circle is generated using 8 quadratic bezier curves)
