Filleting a corner is a 3-step process. First, the centre point for the arc must be calculated (fig 1 and fig 2a). Second, the arc's sweep must be calculated so that it merges with the parent path at the tagents (fig 2b). Third, the point of the corner must be snipped off, and the arc welded on (fig 2c) | Filleting a corner is a 3-step process.

The illustration below shows the steps involved in filleting the corner of a path:
Filleting a corner is a 3-step process. First, the centre point for the arc must be calculated (X and Y in fig 1 and fig 2a). Second, the arc's sweep must be calculated so that it merges with the parent path at the tagents (fig 2b). Third, the point of the corner must be snipped off, and the arc welded on (fig 2c).
