Description

Constructs a CircularArc given the From Point, the Bearing Angle, the desired orientation, the desired CircularArc Length, and the desired Tangent Distance. The Bearing Angle is measured in radians. The Tangent Distance must be greater than half the Arc Distance, otherwise an error is returned.

Remarks

-isCCW stands for "is counter clockwise"

[C#]

private void ConstructBearingArcTangent()
{
  IConstructCircularArc constructCircularArc = new CircularArcClass();
  ICircularArc circularArc = constructCircularArc as ICircularArc;
  
  IPoint fromPoint = new PointClass();
  fromPoint.PutCoords(100, 100);
 
  //The angles should be in Radians (Radians = Degrees * PI/180)
  constructCircularArc.ConstructBearingArcTangent(fromPoint, 0, true, 100, 300);
   
  String report = "Length : " + circularArc.Length + "\n" +
                  "Radius : " + circularArc.Radius + "\n" +
