  double CentralAngle,
  double chordDistance
);

[C++]
Parameters
from 

  from is a parameter of type IPoint*
inAngle

Description

Constructs a CircularArc given the From Point, the Bearing Angle, the desired orientation, the desired Central Angle, and the desired Chord Distance. The Bearing Angle and Central Angle are measured in radians.

Remarks

-isCCW stands for "is counter clockwise"
