Description
A CircularArc is an object that describes any portion of a circle. The size of the CircularArc is determined by the length of the Radius and the Central Angle. CircularArcs can be constructed by numerous different methods given a wide variety of input parameters. A CircularArc differs from an EllipticArc in that every point along the CircularArc must be a fixed distance (the Radius) from the CenterPoint.
Members
Description | ||
---|---|---|
CenterPoint | The center point. | |
CentralAngle | The included (or central) angle. | |
ChordHeight | The chord height (assigning preserves endpoints, and orientation unless chord height is < 0). | |
Complement | Changes this arc into its complement; 'from' and 'to' points are unchanged. | |
Dimension | The topological dimension of this geometry. | |
Envelope | Creates a copy of this geometry's envelope and returns it. | |
FromAngle | The angle, measured from a horizontal line through this circular arc's center point, that defines where this arc starts. | |
FromPoint | The 'from' point of the curve. | |
GeometryType | The type of this geometry. | |
GeoNormalize | Shifts longitudes, if need be, into a continuous range of 360 degrees. | |
GeoNormalizeFromLongitude | Normalizes longitudes into a continuous range containing the longitude. This method is obsolete. | |
GetSubcurve | Extracts a portion of this curve into a new curve. | |
IsClosed | Indicates if 'from' and 'to' points (of each part) are identical. | |
IsCounterClockwise | Indicates if this circular is oriented counter-clockwise from its 'from' point to its 'to' point. | |
IsEmpty | Indicates whether this geometry contains any points. | |
IsLine | Indicates if the arc has degenerated to a line (radius is infinite). | |
IsMinor | Indicates whether this circular arc is a minor arc or a major arc. | |
IsPoint | Indicates if the arc has degenerated to a point (radius is 0). | |
Length | The length of the curve. | |
Project | Projects this geometry into a new spatial reference. | |
PutCoords | Defines this arc by a center point, 'from' and 'to' points, and orientation. If the from and to points do not lie on the same circle, the arc's center point will be adjusted. | |
PutCoordsByAngle | Defines this circular arc by a center point, 'from' angle, signed central angle, and radius. | |
PutRadiusByPoint | Defines the radius of this circular arc to be the distance from the arc's center point to the input point; other properties remain unchanged. | |
QueryCenterPoint | Copies the center point of this circular arc to the input point. | |
QueryCoords | Copies the center, 'from' and 'to' points, orientation and major/minor property into the input parameters. | |
QueryCoordsByAngle | Returns the center point, 'from' angle, signed central angle, and radius. | |
QueryEnvelope | Copies this geometry's envelope properties into the specified envelope. | |
QueryFromPoint | Copies this curve's 'from' point to the input point. | |
QueryNormal | Constructs a line normal to a curve from a point at a specified distance along the curve. | |
QueryPoint | Copies to outPoint the properties of a point on the curve at a specified distance from the beginning of the curve. | |
QueryPointAndDistance | Finds the point on the curve closest to inPoint, then copies that point to outPoint; optionally calculates related items. | |
QueryTangent | Constructs a line tangent to a curve from a point at a specified distance along the curve. | |
QueryToPoint | Copies the curve's 'to' point into the input point. | |
Radius | The radius. | |
ReverseOrientation | Reverses the parameterization of the curve ('from' point becomes 'to' point, first segment becomes last segment, etc). | |
SetEmpty | Removes all points from this geometry. | |
SnapToSpatialReference | Moves points of this geometry so that they can be represented in the precision of the geometry's associated spatial reference system. | |
SpatialReference | The spatial reference associated with this geometry. | |
ToAngle | The angle, measured from a horizontal line through this circular arc's center point, that defines where this arc ends. | |
ToPoint | The 'to' point of the curve. |
