The bulge factor is used to indicate how much of an arc segment is present at this vertex. The bulge factor is the tangent of one fourth the included angle for an arc segment, made negative if the arc goes clockwise from the start point to the endpoint. A bulge of 0 indicates a straight segment, and a bulge of 1 is a semicircle.
凸度参数反映该顶点弧度情况。凸度是弧段四分之一弧度的正切值。弧度按顺时针方向从起点指向终点时,凸度为负数。直线段的凸度为0。半圆的凸度为1。
可以参照顶楼的图来理解。
也不知道这样翻译是否正确。
