Spiral solids.

Let's create a spiral solid with a circle-clip and a round hole.

This code creates the circles:

SG_CIRCLE cirGeo1;

SG_POINT cirC1 = {2.0, -2.0, 0.0};

SG_VECTOR cirNor1 = {0.0, 0.0, 1.0};

cirGeo1.FromCenterRadiusNormal(cirC1,3.0, cirNor1);

sgC2DObject* cir1 = sgCreateCircle(cirGeo1);

sgGetScene()->AttachObject(cir1);

cir1->SetAttribute(SG_OA_COLOR,12);

cir1->SetAttribute(SG_OA_LINE_THICKNESS, 2);

SG_CIRCLE cirGeo2;

SG_POINT cirC2 = {2.0, -2.3, 0.0};

SG_VECTOR cirNor2 = {0.0, 0.0, 1.0};

cirGeo2.FromCenterRadiusNormal(cirC2,1.5, cirNor2);

sgC2DObject* cir2 = sgCreateCircle(cirGeo2);

sgGetScene()->AttachObject(cir2);

cir2->SetAttribute(SG_OA_COLOR,12);

cir2->SetAttribute(SG_OA_LINE_THICKNESS, 2);

The axis of the spiral will lie on the (6, -3, 0) and (6, 3, 0) points. Length of a spiral step will be 12, the spiral length - 30, and the number of meridians on the one spiral step circle will be 16:

SG_POINT axeP1 = {6.0, -3.0, 0.0};

SG_POINT axeP2 = {6.0, 3.0, 0.0};

sgC3DObject* spirO = (sgC3DObject*)sgKinematic::Spiral((const sgC2DObject&)(*cir1),

(const sgC2DObject**)(&cir2),1,

axeP1,axeP2,12,30,16,true);

sgGetScene()->AttachObject(spirO);

spirO->SetAttribute(SG_OA_COLOR,56);

Then we'll move the obtained solid:

SG_VECTOR transV1 = {0,7,0};

spirO->InitTempMatrix()->Translate(transV1);

spirO->ApplyTempMatrix();

spirO->DestroyTempMatrix();
