Syntax
[VL,Vc,Rmin]=VLtangentcirc([v1,v2,R,M,ty])
Input Parameter
v1: | | vector 1 from the origin |
v2: | | vector 2 from the origin |
R: | | desired Radius; automatically reduced; default is 1 |
M: | | maximize radius if possible; default is false |
ty: | | |
Output Parameter
VL: | | Vertex list describing a circle segment |
Vc: | | Circle center of circle segment |
Rmin: | | Radius that was really possible |
