IConstructCircularArc.ConstructBearingChordArc Method

Constructs an arc with the given chord bearing, chord distance and arc distance (negative for clockwise orientation).

[Visual Basic .NET]
Public Sub ConstructBearingChordArc ( _
    ByVal from As IPoint, _
    ByVal inAngle As Double, _
    ByVal isCCW As Boolean, _
    ByVal chordDistance As Double, _
    ByVal arcDistance As Double _
)

[C#]
public void ConstructBearingChordArc (
    IPoint from,
    double inAngle,
    bool isCCW,
    double chordDistance,
    double arcDistance
);

[C++]
HRESULT ConstructBearingChordArc(

  double chordDistance,
  double arcDistance
);

[C++]
Parameters
from 

  from is a parameter of type IPoint*
inAngle 

  inAngle is a parameter of type double

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

Description

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

Remarks

-isCCW stands for "is counter clockwise"

[C#]

  IPoint fromPoint = new PointClass();
  fromPoint.PutCoords(100, 100);
 
  //The angles should be in Radians (Radians = Degrees * PI/180)
  constructCircularArc.ConstructBearingChordArc(fromPoint, 0, true, 100, 300);
   
  String report = "Length : " + circularArc.Length + "\n" +
