\subsection{Express a conic arc as a curve.}
\funclabel{s1011}
\begin{minipg1}
  Convert an analytic conic arc to a curve.
  The curve will be geometrically exact.
  The arc is given by position at start, shoulder point and end, and a
  shape factor.

ARGUMENTS\\
        \>Input Arguments:\\
        \>\>    {\fov start\_pos} \> - \> Start point of segment.\\
        \>\>    {\fov top\_pos}   \> - \> \begin{minipg2}
                                            Shoulder point of
                                            segment. This is the
                                            intersection point of the
                                            tangents in {\fov start\_pos} and
                                            {\fov end\_pos}.
                                          \end{minipg2}\\[0.8ex]
        \>\>    {\fov end\_pos}   \> - \> End point of segment.\\
        \>\>    {\fov shape}      \> - \> Shape factor, must be $\geq 0$.\\
                \>\>\>\>\> $< 0.5$, an ellipse,\\
                \>\>\>\>\> $= 0.5$, a parabola,\\
                \>\>\>\>\> $> 0.5$, a hyperbola,\\
                \>\>\>\>\> $\geq 1$,
                           \begin{minipg5}
                             the start and end points lies on different branches of
                             the hyperbola.  We want a single arc
                             segment, therefore if $shape\geq 1$, shape
                             is set to $0.999999$.
                           \end{minipg5}\\[0.8ex]
        \>\>    {\fov dim}        \> - \> The spatial dimension of the curve to
                                          be produced.\\
