Create an arc between two points

[hotshotiguana]

So I transferred some Matlab code into Python and then did a 3D plot, see below code.

import numpy as np
from mpl_toolkits.mplot3d import Axes3D
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt

def get_sphere_line(center, pt_1, pt_2):
"""
Get the coordinates to craft an arc
"""
x0, y0, z0 = center
x1, y1, z1 = pt_1
x2, y2, z2 = pt_2
v1 = [x1 - x0, y1 - y0, z1 - z0] # Vector from center to 1st point
r = np.linalg.norm(v1) # The radius
v2 = [x2 - x0, y2 - y0, z2 - z0] # Vector from center to 2nd point
v3 = np.cross(np.cross(v1, v2), v1) # v3 lies in plane of v1 & v2 and is orthog. to v1
v3 = r*v3/np.linalg.norm(v3) # Make v3 of length r
# Let t range through the inner angle between v1 and v2
t = np.linspace(0, np.arctan2(np.linalg.norm(np.cross(v1, v2)), np.dot(v1, v2)), num=100)[:, np.newaxis].T
v = np.array(v1)[:, np.newaxis]*np.cos(t) + np.array(v3)[:, np.newaxis]*np.sin(t) # v traces great circle path, relative to center
xs, ys, zs = v[0, :] + x0, v[1, :] + y0, v[2, :] + z0
return xs, ys, zs
xs, ys, zs = get_sphere_line([2.85, 0.001, 0.238], [1.722, .001, .46], [3.94, 0.001, 0.026])
fig = plt.figure()
ax = fig.add_subplot(111, projection='3d')
ax.plot(xs, ys, zs)
plt.show()

The below code is how I am trying to implement it in Vizard, but it isn't working properly.

vs = get_sphere_line([2.85, 0.001, 0.238], [1.722, .001, .46], [3.94, .001, 0.026])
viz.startLayer(viz.LINE_STRIP)
viz.lineWidth(5)
viz.vertexColor(viz.YELLOW)
for v in vs:
viz.vertex([v[0], v[1], v[2]])
viz.endLayer()
