computes integers sin_num, cos_num and denom, such
that sin_num/denom approximates the sine of direction
dirx,diry. The difference between the sine and
the approximating rational is bounded by eps_num/eps_den. Precondition: eps_num .
Implementation
The approximation is based on Farey sequences as described in
the rational rotation method presented by Canny and Ressler at the
8th SoCG 1992. We use a slower version which needs no division operation
in the approximation.
