Detailed Description

Calculate circle parameters (x0, y0, rho) for a circle: (x-x0)^2 + (y-y0)^2 = rho^2 in Global Cartesian Coordinates in the (x,y) plane for a given set of GlobalPoints. It is done by mapping the points onto the Riemann Sphere and fit a plane to the transformed coordinates of the points. The method is described in:

A.Strandlie, J.Wroldsen, R.Fruehwirth, B.Lillekjendlie: Particle tracks fitted on the Riemann sphere Computer Physics Communications 131 (2000) 95-108, 18 January 2000

Implementation: Matthias Winkler, 14 February 2001

This implementation is a specialized version of the general Circle class for three points.

Update 14.02.2001: For 3 Points (2 RecHits + Vertex) the plain parameters n1*x + n2*y + n3*z + c = 0 are analytically calculable. Update 14.02.2001: In the case that a circle fit is not possible (points are along a straight line) the parameters of the straight line can be used: c + n1*x + n2*y = 0
