27 class StdFail_NotDone;
33 //! This class implements construction algorithms for an ellipse in
34 //! 3D space. The result is a Geom_Ellipse ellipse.
35 //! A MakeEllipse object provides a framework for:
36 //! - defining the construction of the ellipse,
37 //! - implementing the construction algorithm, and
38 //! - consulting the results. In particular, the Value
39 //! function returns the constructed ellipse.
40 class GC_MakeEllipse : public GC_Root
48 //! Creates an ellipse from a non persistent ellipse E from package gp by its conversion.
49 Standard_EXPORT GC_MakeEllipse(const gp_Elips& E);
51 //! Constructs an ellipse with major and minor radii MajorRadius and
52 //! MinorRadius, and located in the plane defined by
53 //! the "X Axis" and "Y Axis" of the coordinate system A2, where:
54 //! - its center is the origin of A2, and
55 //! - its major axis is the "X Axis" of A2;
57 //! The MakeEllipse class does not prevent the
58 //! construction of an ellipse where MajorRadius is equal to MinorRadius.
59 //! If an error occurs (that is, when IsDone returns
60 //! false), the Status function returns:
61 //! - gce_InvertRadius if MajorRadius is less than MinorRadius;
62 //! - gce_NegativeRadius if MinorRadius is less than 0.0;
63 //! - gce_NullAxis if the points S1 and Center are coincident; or
64 //! - gce_InvertAxis if:
65 //! - the major radius computed with Center and S1
66 //! is less than the minor radius computed with Center, S1 and S2, or
67 //! - Center, S1 and S2 are collinear.

71 //! - the plane of the ellipse is defined by Center, S1 and S2,
