Purpose

This macro implements module SoAngleLines which calculates and renders an angle defined by the three points set by Start Pos , Connect Pos and End Pos.

The currently selected point is displayed in the Status.

Usage

See example network.

Interaction

Consecutive clicks set the start point, the angle point and the end point.
