IPath.Smooth Method

Converts this path into a smooth approximation of itself that contains only Bezier curve segments.

[Visual Basic .NET]
Public Sub Smooth ( _
    ByVal maxAllowableOffset As Double _
)

[C#]
public void Smooth (
    double maxAllowableOffset
);

[C++]
HRESULT Smooth(
  double maxAllowableOffset
);

[C++]

Parameters
maxAllowableOffset 

  maxAllowableOffset is a parameter of type double

Product Availability

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

Description

Converts the Path into a Path containing only BezierCurve segments.  The created BezierCurve path is a Generalization of the original path that has a maximum deviation of maxDeviation from the original path.  If maxDeviation = 0, all of the original vertices are maintained.  At each vertex, the adjoining BezierCurves have complementary tangents which creates a continuous (smooth) transition between segments.
