Description

Constructs a geodetic line with the specified length and azimuth (clockwise angle from north). The esriCurveDensifyByLength and esriCurveDensifyByDeviation densification methods can be specified. Output length is always less than one hemisphere. See the above section on common behavior for additional information on this method. This method is not implemented for polygons (E_NOTIMPL is returned).

Errors Returned

Returns E_NOTIMPL if used with polygons.

Remarks

Length of output line will always be less than one hemisphere.
