CENTER

CENTER, NODE, NODE1, NODE2, NODE3, RADIUS
Defines a node at the center of curvature of 2 or 3 nodes.

NODE

Number to be assigned to the node generated at the center of curvature.

NODE1, NODE2, NODE3

Three nodes used to calculated the center of curvature, as described under RADIUS.

RADIUS

Used to control the interpretation of NODE1, NODE2 and NODE3:

0	—	`NODE1`, `NODE2` and `NODE3` lie on a circular arc. The program will calculate the center of curvature (and radius) (default).
≠0	—	`NODE1` and `NODE2` are the endpoints of an arc, and `RADIUS` is the radius of curvature. The program will locate the center of curvature on the `NODE3` side of the `NODE1`-`NODE2` line if `RADIUS` > 0, and opposite to `NODE3` if `RADIUS` < 0.
