Detailed Description

Describes an ellipse in 3D space. An ellipse is defined by its major and minor radii and positioned in space with a coordinate system (a gp_Ax2 object) as follows:

the origin of the coordinate system is the center of the ellipse,
its "X Direction" defines the major axis of the ellipse, and
its "Y Direction" defines the minor axis of the ellipse. Together, the origin, "X Direction" and "Y Direction" of this coordinate system define the plane of the ellipse. This coordinate system is the "local coordinate system" of the ellipse. In this coordinate system, the equation of the ellipse is: X*X / (MajorRadius**2) + Y*Y / (MinorRadius**2) = 1.0 The "main Direction" of the local coordinate system gives the normal vector to the plane of the ellipse. This vector gives an implicit orientation to the ellipse (definition of the trigonometric sense). We refer to the "main Axis" of the local coordinate system as the "Axis" of the ellipse. See Also gce_MakeElips which provides functions for more complex ellipse constructions Geom_Ellipse which provides additional functions for constructing ellipses and works, in particular, with the parametric equations of ellipses
