Methods


Sub GetAxis( iPosition, oAxis)
Returns the axis of the Circle.
Parameters:
iType
Type of axis to be retrived. 3 - CATGSMAxisLineType_NormalToCircle 2 - CATGSMAxisLineType_NormalToDirection 1 - CATGSMAxisLineType_AlignedWithDirection
oAxis
Reference to the element.
Example:
This example retrieves the axis of the circle. HybShpCircle hybrid shape circle. 
 Dim AxisRef As Reference
 HybShpCircle.GetAxis 1, AxisRef
Sub GetCenter( oCenterX, oCenterY, oCenterZ)
Gets the mathematical center of the circle. This information is available once the circle has been computed.
Parameters:
oCenterX,
oCenterY, oCenterZ, circle center
Sub GetFreeCenter( ioCenter)
Returns the circle center.
Parameters:
oCenter
The circle center. It is returned as an array of three coordinates in SafeArrayVariant
Example:
This example retrieves in HybShpCircleCenter the center of the HybShpCircle hybrid shape circle. 
 Dim HybShpCircleCenter
 ReDim HybShpCircleCenter(2)
 ShpCircle.GetFreeRadius(HybShpCircleCenter)

You can access each center coordinate as follows:

  • x is in HybShpCircleCenter(0)
  • y is in HybShpCircleCenter(1)
  • z is in HybShpCircleCenter(2)
Sub GetFreeRadius( oRadius)
Returns the circle radius.
Parameters:
oRadius
The circle radius
Example:
This example retrieves in HybShpCircleRadius the radius of the HybShpCircle hybrid shape circle. 
 double HybShpCircleRadius
 ShpCircle.GetFreeRadius(HybShpCircleRadius)
Func GetLimitation() As

Parameters:
oLimit
(Angles = 0, Whole = 1, Trimmed = 2, Complementary = 3). circle limitation
Sub SetLimitation( iLimitation)
Set the circle limitation type.
Parameters:
iLimitation
The circle limitation type
Legal values:
0
