          reb:REB_TrapShapeLinksCurve

class 
TrapShape:REB_TrapShapeLinksCurve

This shape uses the links curve function.

This variant of the function involves taking a square root so there are two solutions. A signed and absolute value version of the distance is also available. The transformed value is the complex return value of the function.
