A CAGD method for eliptic cross sections of circular parabolic quadrics


D. Cvetićanin, R. Obradović




A Computer Aided Geometric Design (CAGD) method is developed for obtaining an elliptic cross-section between a conus and a plane, and between a cylinder and a plane. The method is based on procedures of constructive geometry. The process of drawing the bodies and planes is interpreted using analytic geometry. The mathematical relations are implemented in a Turbo Pascal program.
