Abstract: Abstract The procedures addressed in this chapter are those that generate a circle or a circular arc by various construction techniques. Procedures that generate spirals and address their interaction with lines, circular arcs, and other spirals are addressed separately in Chap. 9 . Similarly, procedures that address parabolic curves are presented in Chap. 11 , while elliptic features are included in Chap. 12 . Quadratic or cubic curves may be created by use of the iclagr1 subroutine addressed in Chap. 3 , and in which the argument NPTDAT should be set to 3 for a quadratic, and to 4 for a cubic curve. This procedure may also be used to create other curve shapes by increasing the number of points.
