IConstructPoint.ConstructAngleBisector Method

Constructs a point on the bisector of the angle (from, through, to). When useAcuteAngle is false, the sign of distance will select a point right or left of (from, through, to). Otherwise, the sign of distance will select the acute/obtuse point.

[Visual Basic .NET]
Public Sub ConstructAngleBisector ( _
    ByVal from As IPoint, _
    ByVal through As IPoint, _
    ByVal to As IPoint, _
    ByVal distance As Double, _
    ByVal useAcuteAngle As Boolean _
)

[C#]
public void ConstructAngleBisector (
    IPoint from,
    IPoint through,
    IPoint to,
    double distance,
    bool useAcuteAngle
);

[C++]
HRESULT ConstructAngleBisector(
  IPoint* from,
  IPoint* through,
  IPoint* to,
  double distance,
  VARIANT_BOOL useAcuteAngle
);

[C++]

Parameters
from 

  from is a parameter of type IPoint
through 

  through is a parameter of type IPoint
to 

  to is a parameter of type IPoint
distance 
  distance is a parameter of type double
useAcuteAngle 
  useAcuteAngle is a parameter of type VARIANT_BOOL

Product Availability

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

Description

Constructs a Point at specified Distance along the line which bisects the Angle formed by the right side of the three input points.  If the right side angle is smaller, the constructed line along which the Point is constructed will always bisect this angle, regardless of the value of bUseSmallerAngle.  However, if the right side angle is larger, and bUseSmallerAngle is TRUE, then the Point will be on the line constructed which bisects the smaller angle (left side) instead of the right side angle.

Remarks


The method uses a vector geometry to calculate the point. The Smaller Angle is the angle less than PI.

If From , To and Through points are all on a straight line , the point is calculated perpendicular (to the right) of the line.
