                      It computes a plottable object mimicking the mark done with a compass.

                      Syntax

                      compass(Point, Point)
                      
                      compass(Point, Real, Figure)
                      
                      compass(Circumference, Figure)
                      

                      Description

                      Given two points C and P, it does a mark at P mimicking a compass with the needle at C. it returns a list with an arc object.

                      Given a point C, a real r and a figure F, it draws a mark in the intersection of the figure and the compass with the needle at C and radius r. It returns a list with an arc object.

                      Given a circumference and a figure, it returns the portion of the circumference that intersects the figure. It returns a list with an arc object.
