Synopsis
PDX_MSGT gcr_EllipticalConic(long option, MDA_PTR orig_db_ptr, MTH_2DPNT xy_trans, double z_depth, double radius_1, double radius_2, double t0, double t1, double angle, GDX_MATRIX gdx_matrix, int gdx_model, MDA_PTR *gdx_conic_ptr)
Purpose
Create a GDX Conic (ellipse).
Description
This function given a 2D xy translation point, a z depth, two radii, a parametric start value (t0), and a parametric end value (t1) creates an elliptical GDX Conic entity.
The orig_db_ptr argument should contain the database pointer of the entity that the new entity was created from (usually this should be obtained by the calling routine via mda_GetOrigDbptr) or MDA_NULL_PTR. See the mda_intro man page for more information about predecessor entities. Note that illegal values for t0 are allowed and will be corrected (using periodicity) to satisfy the rules below.

Input
option
GCR_NOVALIDATE
No validation will occur on the input data.
orig_db_ptr
The original entities orig_db_ptr as obtained from the mda_GetOrigDbptr call, or MDA_NULL_PTR
xy_trans
The 2D XY translation, or NULL.
z_depth
The depth of the ellipse along the Z axis.
radius_1
The first radius of the ellipse (along x axis in definition space)
radius_2
The second radius of the ellipse.
t0
The start parameter value (0.0 <= t0 <= MTH_2_PI)
t1
The end parameter value (t0 < t1 <= t0 + MTH_2_PI)
angle
The rotation angle, in radians, of the GDX Conic relative to standard position.
gdx_matrix
GDX rotation matrix, or NULL.
gdx_model
The GDX model for entity creation
Output
gdx_conic_ptr
Entity database pointer of the GDX Conic (ellipse)
