SE_shape_generate

Generates a polygon shape in the form of a circle based on the supplied center, radius, and number of points.

LONG SE_shape_generate_circle (SE_POINT center, LFLOAT radius, LONG num_pts, SE_SHAPE tgt_shape);

center	An SE_POINT structure that contains the center coordinate of the circle
radius	The radius of the circle
num_pts	The number of points to use in the resulting circular shape
tgt_shape	A handle to an active shape object, returned as the new shape

Generates a polygon shape in the form of a circle based on the supplied center, radius, and number of points.

The parameters have some restrictions:

num_pts >= 9 /* 8 points to define the shape; the 9th, to close it. */

radius > 0.0

• If you pass a shape returned from SE_stable_search or SE_stable_get_shape to ‘tgt_shape’, the SE_READ_ONLY_SHAPE error is returned.

• Ignores any CAD data in the source shape and removes any CAD data in the target shape.
