IConstructCircularArc2.ConstructTangentRadiusChordEx Method

Constructs an arc with a common tangent to the input segment, a given radius and a chord length.

[Visual Basic .NET]
Public Sub ConstructTangentRadiusChordEx ( _
    ByVal Segment As ISegment, _
    ByVal atStart As Boolean, _
    ByVal isCCW As Boolean, _
    ByVal inRadius As Double, _
    ByVal chordDistance As Double, _
    ByVal IsMinor As Boolean _
)

[C#]
public void ConstructTangentRadiusChordEx (
    ISegment Segment,
    bool atStart,
    bool isCCW,
    double inRadius,
    double chordDistance,
    bool IsMinor
);

[C++]
HRESULT ConstructTangentRadiusChordEx(
  ISegment* Segment,
  VARIANT_BOOL atStart,
  VARIANT_BOOL isCCW,
  double inRadius,
  double chordDistance,
  VARIANT_BOOL IsMinor
);

[C++]

Parameters
Segment 

  Segment is a parameter of type ISegment
atStart 
  atStart is a parameter of type VARIANT_BOOL
isCCW 
  isCCW is a parameter of type VARIANT_BOOL
inRadius 
  inRadius is a parameter of type double
chordDistance 
  chordDistance is a parameter of type double
IsMinor 
  IsMinor is a parameter of type VARIANT_BOOL

Product Availability

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

Remarks

Please see the ConstructTangentRadiusChord method for more details.

-isCCW stands for "is counter clockwise"

-If IsMinor is true the central angle of the output Arc will be smaller or equal than PI (Approx. 3.14 Rad)
