EllipticalArc2d.GetEllipticalArcData Method

Parent Object: EllipticalArc2d

Description

Get the data defining this elliptical arc.

Syntax

EllipticalArc2d.GetEllipticalArcData( Center() As Double, MajorAxis() As Double, MajorRadius As Double, MinorRadius As Double, StartAngle As Double, SweepAngle As Double )

Parameters

Name	Type	Description
Center	Double	Input/output Double that specifies the elliptical arc's center.
MajorAxis	Double	Input/output Double that specifies major axis.
MajorRadius	Double	Output Double that specifies major radius.
MinorRadius	Double	Output Double that specifies the minor radius.
StartAngle	Double	Output Double that specifies the elliptical arc's start angle. This angle is an elliptical angle, not a circular angle, unlike the user interface which uses circular angles in all cases. To convert from an elliptical angle to a circular angle CircAngle = atn( tan(EllipAngle) * MinorRadius / MajorRadius ) To convert from a circular angle to an elliptical angle EllipAngle = atn( tan(CircAngle) * MajorRadius / MinorRadius )
SweepAngle	Double	Output Double that specifies the elliptical arc's sweep angle. This angle is an elliptical angle, not a circular angle, unlike the user interface which uses circular angles in all cases. To convert from an elliptical angle to a circular angle CircAngle = atn( tan(EllipAngle) * MinorRadius / MajorRadius ) To convert from a circular angle to an elliptical angle EllipAngle = atn( tan(CircAngle) * MajorRadius / MinorRadius )
