Non circular arcs in G-code
Hello all!

I am trying to learn how to use G-code more and I am making software for our team that will generate G-code for us (to put it simply). One thing that I am trying to do is make non circular arcs. I have figured how to make standard curves with G02 and G03 but I was wondering if it was possible to cut a non circular arc, such as an ellipse or a parabola.

Thanks, 3734
