);

[C++]
Parameters
from 

  from is a parameter of type IPoint*
inAngle

Available with ArcGIS Engine, ArcGIS Desktop, and ArcGIS Server.

Description

Constructs a CircularArc given the From Point, the Bearing Angle, the desired orientation, the desired Radius, and the desired CircularArc Length. The Bearing Angle is measured in radians. The Arc Distance should not be greater than 2 * Pi * Radius.

Remarks

-isCCW stands for "is counter clockwise"
