Coordinate programming
3.5.4 Angle and Cartesian coordinate
A point on the main plane can be defined via one of its Cartesian coordinates, and the exit angle
of the previous path.
Example of programming assuming that the main plane is XY:
X10 Y20 ; Point P0, starting point
Q45 X30 ; Point P1
Q90 Y60 ; Point P2
Q-45 X50 ; Point P3
Q-135 Y20 ; Point P4
Q180 X10 ; Point P0
To represent a point in space, the rest of the coordinates may be programmed in Cartesian
coordinates.
