Hi, tochnoggers,
before all, happy new year.
I think there is a bug in the code. Please someone who can look at
geometry.cc, lines 334-336. The goal of those lines are computing the
normal to a ellipse, but in fact:
1. The b/a factor would have to be squared
2. If 1. would be true, then y/x should be used, and not x/y. There
may also be some bug on the sign, to make the normal point outwards
the ellipse.
Please, check it, and if you agree, I will correct and put it to the
CVS.
Best,
Jesús Torrecilla
