IConstructPoint.ConstructParallel Method

Constructs a point distance units from start, parallel to the tangent at the point nearest to start on the (extended) segment.

[Visual Basic .NET]
Public Sub ConstructParallel ( _
    ByVal Segment As ISegment, _
    ByVal extension As esriSegmentExtension, _
    ByVal start As IPoint, _
    ByVal distance As Double _
)

[C#]
public void ConstructParallel (
    ISegment Segment,
    esriSegmentExtension extension,
    IPoint start,
    double distance
);

[C++]
HRESULT ConstructParallel(
  ISegment* Segment,
  esriSegmentExtension extension,
  IPoint* start,
  double distance
);

[C++]

Parameters

  Segment is a parameter of type ISegment
extension 

  extension is a parameter of type esriSegmentExtension
start 

  start is a parameter of type IPoint
distance 
  distance is a parameter of type double

ConstructPoint ConstructParallel Example

[C#]

//The example shows how to construct a point parallel to the first segment
//of a selected polyline. Use ArcMap and the Object Editor to select the
//polyline.
