Figure 2-13 Circular path with intermediate and end points

To perform circular interpolation starting from the current position over an intermediate point

to the end point, you set circularType:=OVER_POSITION_TO_ENDPOSITION in the

_movePathCircular() command.

The current position, intermediate point, and end point specify the plane for the circular path.

The end point position is entered in the x, y, and z parameters.

The intermediate point is entered in the i, j, and k parameters.

You use the ijkMode parameter to set whether the intermediate point coordinates are to be

evaluated absolutely or relative to the start point or according to the setting in pathMode of

the end point.

Example of a circular path with intermediate point and end point

In this example, the end point of the circle is separated by 10 units from the current position

in the X-direction. Each intermediate point is separated by 5 units in the X-, Y- and Z-

direction from the current position.
