IConstructCircularArc.ConstructTangentRadiusAngle Method

Constructs an arc with a common tangent to the input segment, a given radius and a central angle.

[Visual Basic .NET]
Public Sub ConstructTangentRadiusAngle ( _
    ByVal Segment As ISegment, _
    ByVal atStart As Boolean, _
    ByVal isCCW As Boolean, _
    ByVal inRadius As Double, _
    ByVal CentralAngle As Double _
)

[C#]
public void ConstructTangentRadiusAngle (
    ISegment Segment,
    bool atStart,
    bool isCCW,
    double inRadius,
    double CentralAngle
);

[C++]
HRESULT ConstructTangentRadiusAngle(
  ISegment* Segment,
  VARIANT_BOOL atStart,
  VARIANT_BOOL isCCW,
  double inRadius,
  double CentralAngle
);

[C++]

Parameters
Segment 

  Segment is a parameter of type ISegment*
atStart 

  atStart is a parameter of type bool
isCCW 

  isCCW is a parameter of type bool
inRadius 

  inRadius is a parameter of type double
CentralAngle 

  CentralAngle is a parameter of type double

Product Availability

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

Description

Constructs a CircularArc given the Tangent Segment, the desired segment endpoint (the From Point), the desired orientation, the desired Radius, and the desired Central Angle.  The Central Angle is measured in radians.  A full CircularArc is constructed if the Central Angle is greater than 2*Pi.

Remarks

-isCCW stands for "is counter clockwise"

ConstructCircularArc Tangent Segment Example

[C#] 
private void ConstructTangentRadiusAngle()

  IConstructCircularArc constructCircularArc=new CircularArcClass();

  IPoint toPoint=new PointClass();
  toPoint.PutCoords(100, 400);
  ILine line=new LineClass();
  line.PutCoords(fromPoint, toPoint);
  //The angles should be in Radians (Radians=Degrees * PI/180)
  constructCircularArc.ConstructTangentRadiusAngle(line as ISegment, false, true, 50, Math.PI);
