IConstructCircularArc2.ConstructChordDistanceEx Method

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

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

[C#]
public void ConstructChordDistanceEx (
    IPoint Center,
    IPoint from,
    bool isCCW,
    double chordDistance,
    bool IsMinor
);

[C++]
HRESULT ConstructChordDistanceEx(
  IPoint* Center,
  IPoint* from,
  VARIANT_BOOL isCCW,
  double chordDistance,
  VARIANT_BOOL IsMinor
);

[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
chordDistance 

  chordDistance is a parameter of type double
IsMinor 

  IsMinor is a parameter of type bool

Product Availability

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

Remarks

Please see the ConstructChordDistance method for more details.

-isCCW stands for "is counter clockwise"

-If IsMinor is true the central angle of the output Arc will be smaller or equal than PI (Approx. 3.14 Rad)
