IConstructCircularArc.ConstructBearingRadiusTangent Method

Constructs an arc with the given chord bearing, radius and tangent distance.

[Visual Basic .NET]
Public Sub ConstructBearingRadiusTangent ( _
    ByVal from As IPoint, _
    ByVal inAngle As Double, _
    ByVal isCCW As Boolean, _
    ByVal inRadius As Double, _
    ByVal tangentDistance As Double _
)
[C#]
public void ConstructBearingRadiusTangent (
    IPoint from,
    double inAngle,
    bool isCCW,
    double inRadius,
    double tangentDistance
);
[C++]
HRESULT ConstructBearingRadiusTangent(
  IPoint* from,
  double inAngle,
  VARIANT_BOOL isCCW,
  double inRadius,
  double tangentDistance
);
[C++]
Parameters
from 

from is a parameter of type IPoint* inAngle
inAngle is a parameter of type double isCCW
isCCW is a parameter of type bool inRadius
inRadius is a parameter of type double tangentDistance
tangentDistance is a parameter of type double

Product Availability

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 Tangent Distance.  The Bearing Angle is measured in radians.

Remarks

-isCCW stands for "is counter clockwise"

ConstructCircularArc Bearing Angle Example

[C#]

        private void ConstructBearingRadiusTangent()
        {
            IConstructCircularArc constructCircularArc = new CircularArcClass();
            ICircularArc circularArc = constructCircularArc as ICircularArc;

            IPoint fromPoint = new PointClass();
            fromPoint.PutCoords(100, 100);

            //The angles should be in Radians (Radians = Degrees * PI/180)
            constructCircularArc.ConstructBearingRadiusTangent(fromPoint, 0, true, 40, 1000);

            String report = "Length : " + circularArc.Length + "\n" +
                            "Radius : " + circularArc.Radius + "\n" +
                            "Chord Height : " + circularArc.ChordHeight + "\n" +
