IConstructCircularArc.ConstructEndPointsArc Method

Constructs an arc from the given endpoints and arc distance.

[Visual Basic .NET]
Public Sub ConstructEndPointsArc ( _
    ByVal from As IPoint, _
    ByVal to As IPoint, _
    ByVal isCCW As Boolean, _
    ByVal arcDistance As Double _
)

[C#]
public void ConstructEndPointsArc (
    IPoint from,
    IPoint to,
    bool isCCW,
    double arcDistance
);

[C++]
HRESULT ConstructEndPointsArc(
  IPoint* from,
  IPoint* to,
  VARIANT_BOOL isCCW,
  double arcDistance
);

[C++]

Parameters
from 

  from is a parameter of type IPoint
to 

  to is a parameter of type IPoint
isCCW 
  isCCW is a parameter of type VARIANT_BOOL
arcDistance 
  arcDistance 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, To Point, the desired orientation, and the desired CircularArc Length. The Arc Distance must be greater than the distance between the From Point and the To Point, otherwise an error is returned.

Remarks

-isCCW stands for "is counter clockwise"

  fromPoint.PutCoords(100, 100);
  toPoint.PutCoords(50, 50);

  constructCircularArc.ConstructEndPointsArc(fromPoint, toPoint, true, 200);
