IConstructCurve.ConstructExtended Method

Constructs an extended version of the 'from' curve that goes to the 'to' curve. The flags are bit-wise combined esriCurveExtension values.

[Visual Basic .NET]
Public Sub ConstructExtended ( _
    ByVal fromCurve As ICurve, _
    ByVal toCurve As ICurve, _
    ByVal extensionFlags As Integer, _
    ByRef extensionsPerformed As Boolean _
)

[C#]
public void ConstructExtended (
    ICurve fromCurve,
    ICurve toCurve,
    int extensionFlags,
    ref bool extensionsPerformed
);

[C++]
HRESULT ConstructExtended(
  ICurve* fromCurve,
  ICurve* toCurve,
  long extensionFlags,
  VARIANT_BOOL* extensionsPerformed
);

[C++]

Parameters
fromCurve 

  fromCurve is a parameter of type ICurve
toCurve 

  toCurve is a parameter of type ICurve
extensionFlags 
  extensionFlags is a parameter of type long
extensionsPerformed [in, out]
  extensionsPerformed is a parameter of type VARIANT_BOOL

Product Availability

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

Remarks

This method will return an empty geometry if you attempt to create a polygon from two linear

geometries as input. This is not a way to create a polygon from two polylines.

If the input curve is a polygon the result will be a copy of the polygon.

The flags are bit-wise combined esriCurveExtension values.
