This datatype controls how rho values are handled when creating conic shaped
blends.
It has two values:
PK_blend_rho_absolute_c rho is independent of the angle subtended
by the blend.
PK_blend_rho_relative_c rho is relative to the angle subtended by
the blend. A value of 0.5 will give the
least tension ellipse (circle) solution.
PK_blend_rho_centre_c rho is the radius of curvature at the
centre of the blend cross-section.
Absolute rho values enable the user to easily choose the type of conic they
want (<0.5 ellipse, 0.5 parabola, >0.5 hyperbola). Relative values allow the
user to easily choose the least tension (circular) solution and variations
from that. Centre values allow the user to control the central radius
of curvature of the conic.
