Detailed Description

A quadratic plane curve.

This example tells you the type of the given conic equation, and prints the equation in readable form:

   vgl_conic<double> c(1, 0, 2, 0, 0, -3);
   vcl_cout << c.real_type() << '\n'; // prints "real ellipse"
   vcl_cout << c << '\n'; // prints the equation: X^2 + 2 Y^2 - 3 = 0
