If the vector method of locating the arc center is used, the vector is specified by its I, J, and K-
components (I specifies the component parallel to the X axis, J to the Y axis, and K to the Z-axis). This 
vector can be specified as a distance from the starting point (i.e. incrementally), or from the XYZ origin 
(i.e. absolutely).  The choice is made by specifying ‘R’ in an ABS or INC statement (e.g. ABS(R) or 
INC(R)).  This affects I, J, and K-specifiers together.  (ABS and INC without arguments affect all axes, 
but leave the vectors unchanged).  The default is for incremental vector specification.   

The standard machine-tool usage is for incremental vector specification even when 
move endpoint specification is absolute. 

A typical circular move command with a vector specification is: 

Example: 
Starting from the point X0 Y0, make a quarter circle clockwise in the XY plane to X20 Y20, then a linear 
move to X40 Y20, then a three-quarters circle clockwise to X20 Y0.  With the default modes of absolute 
move and incremental vector specification, the program would be: 

; XY plane
