are you looking for something that does spline fitting (autotrace comes to mind, but I would not necessarily trust it off the bat), or are you looking for something that fits circle arcs? The one thing I can think of off the top is that there was an old NURBS to bi-arc converter that was integr

Googling: fit points to arc of circle gives lots of hits. The ones I looked at seem to give a least squares fit of data with random noise. I don't think that is what you are looking for, though. Regards, Ken On 4/27/2012 10:47 AM, dave wrote: > Hi, > Does anyone know of an open source progra

Dave I used several tools when i looked at EDM crater depth vs joules of energy applied these were all linear regression tools but first it was easier for me to work inside the framework of a spreadsheet with the xy data pairs plotted, then analyzed maybe this will help use openOffice Calc and yo

Dave sorry i didnt grok that you wanted g2/g3 arcs I rememebr Ed Vilchez of AGie reducing huge gcode files of tiny lines to lines and arcs all done on one of those HP 9830 cassete based computers, in LISP technically a great filter, but it ended up being used to create the "BJ" stainless cutout on

If you cannot find anything else, I'll dig around in some of my CAGD code from when I took Farin's class and see if I have anything useful... EBo -- ps: read give me some info and til the weekend... On Mon, 30 Apr 2012 13:03:55 -0500, Thomas Powderly wrote: > Dave > sorry i didnt grok that y
