Unit 14: Canonic Systems

14.3.1 Benefits Notes
Canonic Recognition brings added-value to:
 Open CASCADE based applications dealing mainly with analytical geometry such as
CAM or Metrology applications.
 Performance and robustness of numeric algorithms (intersection, projection, etc.).
 All information appropriate for canonic geometry (radii, focuses, centers, equations, etc.)
can be used in applications for display, quick search, statistics and so on.
 The easy-to-use API provides easy integration into existing or new Open CASCADE based
applications as a part of CAD data import process or as a new functionality, which can be
easily accessible via GUI.
 The demo application visually demonstrating the power of the component is available for
Windows NT users.
 No third-party license is required to use this component.

14.4 Canonic Translation Algorithm

Main Window

Upon program activation, the user will be presented with the main window, depicted in Figure
14.3. The main window presents the toolbar, drawing panel and xml viewer. All the operations
can be accessed via the menu.
