CreateEllipticArcSegment(MapPoint,MapPoint,Double,Double,Double,MinorOrMajor,ArcOrientation,SpatialReference) Method

In This Topic

Convenience method to create a new instance of the EllipticArcSegment class. The new instance will be an elliptic arc.

Syntax

C#
Visual Basic (Declaration)

public static EllipticArcSegment CreateEllipticArcSegment( 
   MapPoint startPt,
   MapPoint endPt,
   double semiMajorAxis,
   double minorMajorRatio,
   double rotationAngle,
   MinorOrMajor minorOrMajor,
   ArcOrientation orientation,
   SpatialReference spatialReference
)

Public Overloads Shared Function CreateEllipticArcSegment( _
   ByVal startPt As MapPoint, _
   ByVal endPt As MapPoint, _
   ByVal semiMajorAxis As Double, _
   ByVal minorMajorRatio As Double, _
   ByVal rotationAngle As Double, _
   ByVal minorOrMajor As MinorOrMajor, _
   ByVal orientation As ArcOrientation, _
   Optional ByVal spatialReference As SpatialReference _
) As EllipticArcSegment

Parameters

startPt: The start point of the elliptic arc.
endPt: The end point of the elliptic arc.
semiMajorAxis: The length of the semi-major axis.
minorMajorRatio: The ratio of the length of the semi-minor axis to the length of the semi-major axis. The absolute value must be < 1.
rotationAngle: The angle in radians by which the ellipse is rotated from the X-axis. A positive value corresponds to counterclockwise rotation.
minorOrMajor: The enumeration value indicating whether the arc is a minor or major arc. A minor arc is an arc such that the central angle is less than PI radians.
orientation: The value indicating if the arc is oriented clockwise or counterclockwise.
spatialReference: (Optional) The spatial reference. The default value is null. The spatial reference of the start point is ignored.

Exceptions

Exception	Description
System.ArgumentNullException	startPt or endPt is null or empty.
System.ArgumentException	semiMajorAxis, minorMajorRatio or rotationAngle is NaN.
System.ArgumentException	An elliptic arc construction operation was given invalid axes. The absolute value of minorMajorRatio is > 1.
System.ArgumentException	An elliptic arc construction operation was given invalid axes. It is not possible to construct the elliptic arc with the given axes.
System.ArgumentException	The start and end points cannot have the same xy-coordinates for this method.

Remarks

If is equal to one, then a circular arc will be created and the rotation angle will be equal to zero.

Requirements

Target Platforms: Windows 11, Windows 10

ArcGIS Pro version: 3 or higher.
