Public Function AddByCenter( _ ByVal xCenter As Double, _ ByVal yCenter As Double, _ ByVal xMajorAxis As Double, _ ByVal yMajorAxis As Double, _ ByVal Ratio As Double, _ ByVal Orientation As Geom2dOrientationConstants, _ ByVal StartAngle As Double, _ ByVal EndAngle As Double _ ) As EllipticalArc2d

Visual Basic

Public Function AddByCenter( _
   ByVal xCenter As Double, _
   ByVal yCenter As Double, _
   ByVal xMajorAxis As Double, _
   ByVal yMajorAxis As Double, _
   ByVal Ratio As Double, _
   ByVal Orientation As Geom2dOrientationConstants, _
   ByVal StartAngle As Double, _
   ByVal EndAngle As Double _
) As EllipticalArc2d

Parameters

xCenter

The coordinates of the center point of the ellipse.

yCenter

The coordinates of the center point of the ellipse.

xMajorAxis

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

yMajorAxis

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.

StartAngle

Specifies in radians the angle along the elliptical arc that defines the beginning point of the arc.

EndAngle

Specifies in radians the angle along the elliptical arc that defines the end point of the arc.
