Description

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

Remarks

-isCCW stands for "is counter clockwise"

  //The angles should be in Radians (Radians = Degrees * PI/180)
