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

)
[C#]
public void ConstructBearingRadiusChord (
    IPoint from,
    double inAngle,
    bool isCCW,
    double inRadius,
    double chordDistance,
    bool IsMinor
);
[C++]
HRESULT ConstructBearingRadiusChord(
  IPoint* from,
  double inAngle,
  VARIANT_BOOL isCCW,
  double inRadius,
  double chordDistance,
  VARIANT_BOOL IsMinor
);
[C++]

Parameters

from

  from is a parameter of type IPoint

inAngle   inAngle is a parameter of type double isCCW   isCCW is a parameter of type VARIANT_BOOL inRadius   inRadius is a parameter of type double chordDistance   chordDistance is a parameter of type double IsMinor   IsMinor is a parameter of type VARIANT_BOOL

Product Availability

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 Radius, the desired Chord Distance, and the IsMinor orientation.  The Bearing Angle is measured in radians.  The Chord Distance must be less than twice the Radius, 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.ConstructBearingRadiusChord(fromPoint, 0, true, 40, 40, true);
   
  String report = "Length : " + circularArc.Length + "\n" +
