re:Re: re: IJK interp

Art,

Let's assume we're currently at X0 Y0.

I give your program the arc command:

G02 X0 Y0 R.5

Please tell me where the arc CENTER is???

Ballendo

P.S. The R word breaks down terribly (in G02 and G03) after 180
degrees of arc, and is indeterminate (with respect to center point)
at 360 degrees. That's why IJK still exist! R is good for fillets,
tho...

P.P.S. IJK itself is VERY easy. It is the number of different WAYS it
has been implemented over the years (and the explanations of same)
which has made it SEEM so hard!
