And you define everyting based on locuses and distance. Circle is easy. A segment = {P | dT(P, A) + dT(P, B) = dT(A, B)}
Confused yet?

Hmm ... you lost me at "Ok"

It is impossible to be grumpy about anything when eating biscotti made by one's beautiful wife, drinking tea sweetened by one's own honey, warmed by a wood stove, and with a dog asleep on one's foot. Simply impossible. - pfreivald [more]
