CreateCircle( double x, double y, double radius, double tolerance, double z_value)
Create a Contour object for a circle consisting of 4 arcs.
- x – double – x coord of centre of circle
- y – double – y coord of centre of circle
- radius – double – radius of circle
- tolerance – double – tolerance of contour – use 0.0 for default
- z_value – double – z coord for contour
CreateCopyOfSelectedContours( bool smash_beziers, bool smash_arcs, double smash_tol)
Create a ContourGroup containing a copy of the currently selected contours in the job. T
- smash_beziers – bool – if true, any Bezier spans in the selection are replaced with a series of straight-line spans which match the original Bezier within the specified tolerance.
- smash_arc – bool – if true, any Arc spans in the selection are replaced with a series of straight-line spans which match the original Arc within the specified tolerance.
- I – double – tolerance (max allowed deviation) to use when approximating arcs or beziers with a series of straight lines.
