Description |
esriCurveDensifyByLength |
0 |
densify parameter is curve length increment. Output line segments will be no longer than this. This method cannot be used when constructing geodesic circles or ellipses. |
esriCurveDensifyByAngle |
1 |
densify parameter is angle increment. Line segments will become shorter as the curvature increases. For geodesic ellipses, the angle is with respect to the reference circle. |
esriCurveDensifyByDeviation |
2 |
densify parameter is deviation from true curve. Line segments of varying length will be generated. The curve parameter specifies the maximum allowable distance between a line segment and the portion of the curve that it is approximating. |
