AddByCenter Method

Description

Uses a center point to create a CenterMark, Ellipse2d, or EllipticalArc2d object.

Syntax

Visual Basic
Public Function AddByCenter( _ ByVal xCenter As Double, _ ByVal yCenter As Double, _ ByVal xMajor As Double, _ ByVal yMajor As Double, _ ByVal Ratio As Double, _ ByVal Orientation As Geom2dOrientationConstants _ ) As Ellipse2d

Visual Basic

Public Function AddByCenter( _
   ByVal xCenter As Double, _
   ByVal yCenter As Double, _
   ByVal xMajor As Double, _
   ByVal yMajor As Double, _
   ByVal Ratio As Double, _
   ByVal Orientation As Geom2dOrientationConstants _
) As Ellipse2d

Parameters

xCenter

The coordinates of the center point of the ellipse.

yCenter

The coordinates of the center point of the ellipse.

xMajor

The coordinates of the point that defines the end of the major axis for the ellipse.

yMajor

The coordinates of the point that defines the end of the major axis for the ellipse.

Ratio

Specifies the ratio of the length of the minor axis relative to the major axis.

Orientation

Value	Description
igGeom2dOrientClockwise	Objects drawn Clockwise
igGeom2dOrientCounterClockwise	Objects drawn Counter Clockwise

A member of the Geom2dOrientationConstants constant set that specifies the direction (clockwise or counterclockwise) in which the ellipse is drawn from the major axis.
