Re: [CAD_CAM_EDM_DRO] hi

Semih,

I'm not sure what CNC controllers use for circle generation but
you might try doing a web search on Bresenham's circle drawing
algorithm. This used a lot in computer graphics. You'll probably
also find that you may need more input than just x1,y1 and x2,y2.
Even if these points are the beginning and end of a quarter segment
of a circle, there are two circles which share those points; one
whose center is at x1,y2 and the other at x2,y1. This is one
of the reasons g-codes allow you to specify if the travel along
the circle is in the clockwise or counter clockwise direction.
