IConstructCircularArc.ConstructArcDistance Method

Constructs an arc from a center point, a starting point, and an arc length.

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

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

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

[C++]

Parameters
Center 

  Center is a parameter of type IPoint*
from 

  from is a parameter of type IPoint*
isCCW 

  isCCW is a parameter of type 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 Center Point, From Point, the desired orientation, and the desired CircularArc Length.  The Arc Distance must be less than 2 * Pi * the Radius (the distance between the From Point and the Center Point), otherwise an error is returned.

Remarks

-isCCW stands for "is counter clockwise"
