Apollonius-problem-solved.LSP

Wow... what a complex code, I can't even begin to analyse. It really works on most cases... might need to include some error-handling functions for some problems that can't be solved. For example, if it's CCL and the geometry looks like a "%", there's technically (at least on my eyes) no possible way to draw a circle tangent to the two circles without crossing the line or tangent to the line.

 

Nonetheless, congrats on this fantastic piece of code. I wouldn't be able to solve one of these unless I pulled many of my hair out XD

That is alot of work you posted there Marko, thanks!

 

I was researching this problem and found code for the algebraic solution for CCC here: https://rosettacode.org/wiki/Problem_of_Apollonius

Implemented it in autolisp and then found your solution to all of the versions.

The algebraic solution seems less complicated or at least shorter, so I managed to get rid of quite a few lines of code.

The modified version is attached to this post. Hope you like it.
