Example: Ellipse

Program run
The contour of the ellipse is approximated by
many short line segments (defined in Q7). The
more calculation steps you define for the lines, the
smoother the curve becomes.
The milling direction is determined with the starting
angle and end angle in the plane:
Machining direction is clockwise:
Starting angle > end angle
Machining direction is counterclockwise:
Starting angle < end angle
The tool radius is not taken into account
