| − | * Continued work on cumbersome algebra and calculus on tangential points to the hyperbola. I'm excited that my thinking was the same as [http://math.stackexchange.com/questions/214977/general-equation-of-a-tangent-line-to-a-hyperbola?rq=1 this] except that my hyperbola is centered at (xo,yo) rather than (0,0).

| |
| − |
| |
| − | I was rather off to a slow start for GSoC 2015 coding due to my final year management project. However, I've written the getTangentPoint() member function for the LC_Hyperbola and I am currently designing appropriate test cases to ascertain the effectiveness of getTangentPoint() function. When I've perfected these test cases, anyone will be able to run these tests after compiling LibreCAD by ./lc on the command line in the unix/ directory.
