Method Summary

IPoint	getCenter() The center of the sphere.
double	getRadius() The radius of the sphere.
void	queryCenter(IPoint centerPoint) Sets an existing point equal to the center of the sphere.
void	setCenter(IPoint centerPoint) The center of the sphere.
void	setRadius(double radiusLength) The radius of the sphere.

Method Detail

queryCenter

void queryCenter(IPoint centerPoint)
                 throws IOException,
                        AutomationException

Sets an existing point equal to the center of the sphere.

Description

Returns the Point corresponding to the Center of the Sphere.

Remarks

Note: The output geometry must be co-created prior to the query. The output geometry is not co-created by the method; it is populated. This can be used in performance critical situations. For example, creating the geometry only once outside a loop and use the query method could improve performance.
