Expand description
2D fillets and chamfers: rounding and beveling a wire’s corner.
The sketch-plane cousins of the edge blends. A corner where two edges of a wire meet, each a line or a circular arc, is replaced by a tangent arc (the fillet) or a straight cut at set distances (the chamfer); the two edges are trimmed back on their own curves, and the wire is rebuilt with the connector in the corner’s place. The tangent construction for corners with curved sides (a line meeting an arc, two arcs) is the 2D tangency problem proper, solved in closed form rather than approximated.
Functions§

corner_ 2d - Round a corner of a wire with an arc tangent to both of its edges.
