16 * Each constraint uses a set of parameters. In the SolveSpace library
17 * these parameters are named "valA", "ptA", "ptB", "entityA", "entityB".
18 * The "ptA" and "ptB" parameters represents a point in the constraint.
19 * The "entityA" and "entityB" represents any other object (and a point too).
20 * And the "valA" represents a real value.
22 * The attributes below are named independent of the SolveSpace.
23 * Some of them may be unused.
25 * Also the list of possible attributes is provided to simplify assignment.
