    Members
    MemberDescription
    ByAngle The associated parameter specifies the angle in radians.
    ByLength The associated parameter specifies the length of the entire clothoid spiral.
    Example
    Construct a Clothoid by Angle
    MapPoint startPoint = MapPointBuilderEx.CreateMapPoint(0, 0);
    double tangentDirection = Math.PI / 6;
    ArcOrientation orientation = ArcOrientation.ArcCounterClockwise;
    double startRadius = double.PositiveInfinity;
    double endRadius = 0.2;
    ClothoidCreateMethod createMethod = ClothoidCreateMethod.ByAngle;
    double angle = Math.PI / 2;

    double densifyParameter = 0.1;
