Cone Class

A cone with axis along the z-axis of a (possibly skewed) local coordinate system.

• The curved surface of the cone C with axis vectorZ = centerB - centerA is parameterized over (u,v) in [0,1]x[0,1] by C(u,v) = centerA + vFractionToRadius(v) * (cos(u * 2pi) * vectorX + sin(u * 2pi) * vectorY) + v * vectorZ.
• Either radius may be zero, but they may not both be zero.
• Cross section size is determined by the lengths of vectorX, vectorY, and the radii.
• If vectorX and vectorY are orthonormal, the cross sections are circular, with sections at v = 0 and v = 1 having radius radiusA and radiusB, respectively; otherwise, the cross sections are elliptical.
• The stored matrix encapsulates vectorX, vectorY, and vectorZ in the respective columns. Typically the first two columns are orthogonal and unit length, and the last is full length.
• Creating a Cone without orthogonal xy-axes of equal length is possible, but not recommended, for the resulting geometry lacks portability; for example, such a Cone cannot be represented as a DGN element (see createDgnCone).
