Example: Ellipse
Program sequence
The contour of the ellipse is approximated by
many short lines (defined in Q7). The more
calculation steps you define for the lines, the
smoother the curve becomes.
The machining direction can be altered by
changing the entries for the starting and end
angles in the plane:
Clockwise machining direction:
starting angle > end angle
Counterclockwise machining direction:
starting angle < end angle
The tool radius is not taken into account.
