- CurveType MOFFSET( CurveType Crv, NumericType OffsetDistance,
- NumericType AngularError )
-
- Computes an offset of OffsetDistance with globally bounded error
- (controlled by AngularError). The smaller AngularError is, the better
- the approximation to the offset. The bounded error is achieved by adaptive
- refinement of the Crv.
- The offset is computed via matching of the tangent fields of the
- given curve Crv and an arc spanning the same angular domain.
- Further, AngularError measures the angular deviation allowed
- between the two tangent fields.
-
- Example:
-
- OffCrv1 = MOFFSET( Crv, -0.4, 10 );
- OffCrv2 = MOFFSET( Crv, -0.4, 5 );
-
- computes an offset approximation to Crv with OffsetDistance of
- -0.4 and AngularError of 10 and 5 degrees, respectively.
- See also OFFSET, AOFFSET, LOFFSET, and FFMATCH.
