ConeCutter drop-cutter methods #12

Closed GoogleCodeExporter closed 9 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago 
I have started on a ConeCutter.
As usual the vertex-drop is trivial.(done.)

ToDo:
The facet-drop is also quite simple, either we hit the tip of the cutter,
or the circular ring where the cone meets the cylindrical shaft of the
cutter. This latter case could be implemented by calling CylCutter::facetDrop

ToDo:
edge-drop is as usual the most difficult. slicing a cone with a vertical
plane produces a hyperbola as the intersection curve. Find the cc-point,
check if it is in the edge, find the cl-point.

the ConeCutter dropCutter-methods are now completed, and the CL-points look OK 
in
preliminary initial tests.
