class MakeArcOfCircle from GC inherits Root from GC
    	---Purpose: Implements construction algorithms for an
    	-- arc of circle in 3D space. The result is a Geom_TrimmedCurve curve.
    	-- A MakeArcOfCircle object provides a framework for:
    	-- -   defining the construction of the arc of circle,
    	-- -   implementing the construction algorithm, and
    	-- -   consulting the results. In particular, the
    	--   Value function returns the constructed arc of circle.

    	--    P2 is collinear with the vector V.
