2.2.13.3.4 Cornu Track Describe Fields

End Angle
Each end has an angle which helps determine the curve shape. It can only be set if the Track is not joined at that end.
End Radius
Each end has an radius which helps determine the curve shape. It can only be set if the Track is not joined at that end.
End Pt
Each End Point has a position. It can only be set if the Track is not joined at that end.
Center
Each End shows the center of the curve of the end segment - this is a read-only field. If the radius is zero, the field will show {0,0}.
Minimum Radius
This is the approximate smallest radius along the curve based on curve fitting to the Cornu.
Maximum Rate of Curvature
The maximum rate that the radius is changing over its length based on curve fitting. It gives an idea of the "sharpness" of the curve.
Total Winding Angle
The number of degrees that the curve executes - this number will rise if there are loops in the curve.
