Curve

Curve

Insert a curve between two points.

Properties

Specify the following parameters in the Properties panel.

Link
Link Number	Specifies the link number. You can change the automatically generated Link Number value.
Link Codes	Specifies the codes assigned to the link.
Geometry Type
Creation Type	Specifies the type of curve to draw: Arc: General Arc: 3 Points Parabola: General
Arc Tessellation	Specifies the number of line segments used to represent the curve. Note: This value must be between 2 and 100. Click [...] to open the Expression Editor, where you can enter or calculate a value.
Geometry Properties
Start Point	Specifies the start point of the curve.
Center Point (Arc: General)	Specifies the center point of a general arc.
Arc Point (Arc: 3 Points)	Specifies the through point of a three-point arc.
End Point	Specifies the end point of the curve.
Mid-Ordinate (Parabola: General)	Specifies the distance between the lowest point of a parabola and its vertex. Click [...] to open the Expression Editor, where you can enter or calculate a value.
Miscellaneous
Comment	Indicates notes about the curve. Comments can be displayed in the Preview panel.

Examples

To see examples of how this geometry element is used, open the following Sample PKT file:

Curve Example.pkt

The example PKT contains three curves. In the Flowchart, each curve is constructed in a separate sequence. Each curve type is defined by a start point, an end point, and a parameter. To review the curve parameters, select the curve in the Flowchart, and then check the Geometry Properties section of the Properties panel.
