Title: APEX and STRETCH: A Practical Form for the Conic Arc

The parametric form for the derivative is given, from which are found the normals from a given point to the arc, and formulae for splitting off one or more parts from it. A method of chordal approximation for plotting purposes is also presented, and the effects of applying transformations are discussed.Read More
