Conic sections

Conic sections are sets of solutions of equations formed by linear combinations of x^2, y^2, x, y, xy and 1 (quadratic functions in two variables). It is well know, that conics are determined by 5 points. Simply select the 5 points to create a conic section.

To edit the properties of the curve, click on it and use the normal properties dialog. Conics will display the defining formula as their value.

It is possible to bind points on conic sections, and to create intersections of conic sections with other objects.
