// Little horn macro by Gilles Tran CopyIfYouWant 1999
// This one makes a couple of horns based on spheres
// The horns have a slight bulge at the base
// but otherwise they look nice
// To find somebody to put these horns on
// may prove more difficult.
//================================================
// hradius_start = horn radius at start
// hradius_end = horn radius at the end (0= very pointy horn)
// hsize = of length of horn if straight
// hangle = how much the horn is curved
// hinter=interval between horns
// n = nb of horn elements
//================================================
// the horns are in the x-y plane
//================================================
