Convert3DCoordinate Method

Description

Returns the 2-D projection of a 3-D point in the profile plane.

Syntax

Visual Basic
Public Sub Convert3DCoordinate( _ ByVal x3d As Double, _ ByVal y3d As Double, _ ByVal z3d As Double, _ ByRef x2d As Double, _ ByRef y2d As Double _ )

Parameters

x3d: Specifies the x coordinate of the 3-D point that is to be converted.
y3d: Specifies the y coordinate of the 3-D point that is to be converted.
z3d: Specifies the z coordinate of the 3-D point that is to be converted.
x2d: Returns the x coordinate of the 2-D point.
y2d: Returns the y coordinate of the 2-D point.
