This example retrieves in ShpCircleEndAngle the end angle of the ShpCircle hybrid shape circle. 
 Dim ShpCircleEndAngle As Angle
 ShpCircleEndAngle = ShpCircle.EndAngle
o Property StartAngle() As (Read Only)
Returns the circle start angle.
Example:
This example retrieves in ShpCircleStartAngle the end angle of the ShpCircle hybrid shape circle. 
 Dim ShpCircleStartAngle As Angle

Methods


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