- I'm trying to figure out the algorithm for this, but I thought I'd ask
- first:
-
- I want to generate lines with fillets - ie. line segments joined by
- fixed-radius arcs. I.e. I'd like to be able to get a user to enter a
- radius, and then digitize a polyline, and I'd change all the corners to nice
- arcs.
-
- Given: Corner points of a polyline, and a fillet radius
- Generate: the parameters for the arcs at each corner point (ie. radius,
- start point, end point, or 3 points that define the arc)
-
- If anybody can email an algorithm for this, I'll be happy to share my final
- code.
