deferred class Conic from Geom2d inherits Curve from Geom2d

        --- Purpose : The abstract class Conic describes the common
    	-- behavior of conic curves in 2D space and, in
    	-- particular, their general characteristics. The Geom2d
    	-- package provides four specific classes of conics:
    	-- Geom2d_Circle, Geom2d_Ellipse,
    	-- Geom2d_Hyperbola and Geom2d_Parabola.
    	-- A conic is positioned in the plane with a coordinate
    	-- system (gp_Ax22d object), where the origin is the
    	-- center of the conic (or the apex in case of a parabola).
    	-- This coordinate system is the local coordinate
    	-- system of the conic. It gives the conic an explicit
    	-- orientation, determining the direction in which the
    	-- parameter increases along the conic. The "X Axis" of
    	-- the local coordinate system also defines the origin of
    	-- the parameter of the conic.

is


  SetAxis (me: mutable; A: Ax22d);

    	---Purpose: Modifies this conic, redefining its local coordinate system
    	-- partially, by assigning P as its origin

  SetXAxis (me : mutable; A : Ax2d);
	    	

  SetYAxis (me : mutable; A : Ax2d);
    	---Purpose: Assigns the origin and unit vector of axis A to the
    	-- origin of the local coordinate system of this conic and either:
    	-- - its "X Direction", or
    	-- - its "Y Direction".
    	-- The other unit vector of the local coordinate system
    	-- of this conic is recomputed normal to A, without
    	-- changing the orientation of the local coordinate
    	-- system (right-handed or left-handed).

  SetLocation (me : mutable; P : Pnt2d);
        --- Purpose : Modifies this conic, redefining its local coordinate
    	-- system fully, by assigning A as this coordinate system.


  XAxis (me)  returns Ax2d;
        --- Purpose :
        --  Returns the "XAxis" of the conic.
        --  This axis defines the origin of parametrization of the conic.
        --  This axis and the "Yaxis" define the local coordinate system
        --  of the conic.
    	-- -C++: return const&


  YAxis (me)  returns Ax2d;
        --- Purpose :
        --  Returns the "YAxis" of the conic.
        --  The "YAxis" is perpendicular to the "Xaxis".
	  

  Eccentricity (me)  returns Real
        --- Purpose :
        --  returns the eccentricity value of the conic e.
        --  e = 0 for a circle
        --  0 < e < 1 for an ellipse  (e = 0 if MajorRadius = MinorRadius)
        --  e > 1 for a hyperbola
        --  e = 1 for a parabola
     raises DomainError
     is deferred;


  Location (me)  returns Pnt2d;
        --- Purpose :
        --  Returns the location point of the conic.
        --  For the circle, the ellipse and the hyperbola it is the center of
        --  the conic. For the parabola it is the vertex of the parabola.



  Position (me)   returns Ax22d;
        ---Purpose :
	--  Returns the local coordinates system of the conic.
    	---C++: return const&


  Reverse (me : mutable);
	--- Purpose :
	--  Reverses the direction of parameterization of <me>.
        --  The local coordinate system of the conic is modified.


  ReversedParameter(me; U : Real) returns Real
	---Purpose: Returns the  parameter on the  reversed  curve for
	--          the point of parameter U on <me>.
	--          
  is deferred;


  Continuity (me)   returns Shape from GeomAbs;
        --- Purpose : Returns GeomAbs_CN which is the global continuity of any conic.
        

  IsCN (me; N : Integer)  returns Boolean;
        --- Purpose :
        --  Returns True, the order of continuity of a conic is infinite.
