sagitta property

double sagitta
final

How far the middle of a straight edge may sit from the curve it stands in for, in metres.

This is the whole subdivision rule, and it is stated as an error rather than a step count because that is what it controls: the step needed to hold a given sagitta is sqrt(8 ยท sagitta / curvature), so a hairpin gets short segments and a straight gets long ones without anybody choosing a number per corner. Four centimetres is well under a kerb.
