Creates a parameterized 2D Gear Countour.

Definitions

Diametral pitch – equals the number of teeth of the gear per inch or per centimeter of the diameter, of its pitch circle. For example, if a gear has 32 teeth and a diameter of 8 inches the diametral pitch is four teeth per inch.

...

Pressure angle – is the angle at a contact point between two gears. Common values are 14.5, 20 and 25 degrees. However, teeth with smaller pressure angles are weaker. Tgears Gears must have the same pressure angle in order for the teeth to mesh properly.

...

Note: You cannot extrude, revolve, loft or perform similar 3D operations on gear contours. You must explode them first.
