Description

This code snippet shows how a MaxAngle:70-degrees linearization of a curve gives a wrong result:

  wkt = QStringLiteral( "CIRCULARSTRING(0 0,100 100,200 0)" );                  
  circularString.reset( dynamic_cast<QgsCircularString *>( QgsGeometryFactory::geomFromWkt( wkt ) ) );
  QVERIFY( circularString.get() );                                              
  lineString.reset( circularString->curveToLine( 70 * M_PI / 180.0 ) );         
  QVERIFY( lineString.get() );                                                  
  //lineString->asWkt();                                                        
std::cout << "XXX --- " << lineString->asWkt().toStdString() << std::endl;
