Oval

This class is used to define the contour of a Tube. The contour is defined in the X-Y plane and can be circular or elliptical.

circular contour elliptical contour

We can specify the number of pie shaped segments that make up the cross-section.

oval segments

Increasing the number of segments will make the contour smoother.

Creating the Oval contour

Constructors 
Oval(float radius, int nbrSegs)
Oval(float radiusX, float radiusZ, int nbrSegss)
Parameter Comments 
radius
 the ring radius round the Z axis. This will create a circular contour. 
radiusX, radiusY
 the ring radius along the X and Y axis. If they differ an elliptical contour will be created. 
nbrSegs
 the number of pie segments making up the full shape
