CreateCircleGraphicElement(ILayoutElementContainer,EllipticArcSegment,CIMPolygonSymbol) Method

Creates a graphic circle element on a layout from a single elliptic arc segment geometry. This method must be called on the MCT. Use QueuedTask.Run.

Syntax

C#
Visual Basic (Declaration)

public GraphicElement CreateCircleGraphicElement( 
   ILayoutElementContainer elementContainer,
   EllipticArcSegment circle,
   CIMPolygonSymbol polygonSymbol
)

Public Overloads Function CreateCircleGraphicElement( _
   ByVal elementContainer As ILayoutElementContainer, _
   ByVal circle As EllipticArcSegment, _
   Optional ByVal polygonSymbol As CIMPolygonSymbol _
) As GraphicElement

Parameters

elementContainer: Layout or GroupElement
circle: EllipticArcSegment
polygonSymbol: CIMPolygonSymbol

Return Value

Returns a GraphicElement.

Exceptions

Exception	Description
ArcGIS.Core.CalledOnWrongThreadException	This method or property must be called within the lambda passed to QueuedTask.Run.
System.InvalidOperationException	Map has reached maximum graphics count limit of 4000 elements. One or more elements cannot be created.
System.InvalidOperationException	Map has reached maximum graphics size limit of 10 MB. One or more elements cannot be created.

Remarks

If the element container is a Layout then the element gets added to the root level of the layout TOC at the top most position. If the element container is a GroupElement then it gets added to the group at the topmost position.

Example

//Create a circle graphic element using a simple line and fill styles.

//Construct on the worker thread
await QueuedTask.Run(() =>
{
  //Build geometry
  Coordinate2D center = new Coordinate2D(2, 4);
  EllipticArcBuilder eabCir = new EllipticArcBuilder(center, 0.5, esriArcOrientation.esriArcClockwise);
  EllipticArcSegment cir = eabCir.ToSegment();

  //Set symbolology, create and add element to layout
  CIMStroke outline = SymbolFactory.Instance.ConstructStroke(ColorFactory.Instance.BlackRGB, 2.0, SimpleLineStyle.Dash);
  CIMPolygonSymbol circleSym = SymbolFactory.Instance.ConstructPolygonSymbol(ColorFactory.Instance.RedRGB, SimpleFillStyle.Solid, outline);
  GraphicElement cirElm = LayoutElementFactory.Instance.CreateCircleGraphicElement(layout, cir, circleSym);
  cirElm.SetName("New Circle");
});
