Detailed Description

Function Documentation

void DEdit_Circular_Wedge ( HC_KEY  key,
const HC_DPOINT *  point1,
const HC_DPOINT *  point2,
const HC_DPOINT *  point3 
)

Similar to Edit_Circular_Wedge(), but operates on double-precision data.

Parameters
key- Key to a circular wedge.
point1- An x-y-z triplet for the coordinates of one of three ordered on the circumference of the circle.(A simple of three elements may also be used in most languages.) Passed by reference always.
point2- As above.
point3- As above.
void Edit_Circular_Wedge ( HC_KEY  key,
const HC_POINT point1,
const HC_POINT point2,
const HC_POINT point3 
)

Edits a circular wedge as it sits in the database.

Parameters
key- Key to a circular wedge.
point1- An x-y-z triplet for the coordinates of one of three ordered on the circumference of the circle.(A simple of three elements may also be used in most languages.) Passed by reference always.
point2- As above.
point3- As above.

DETAILS

Circular wedges are grouped with ellipses, polygons, shells and meshes for rendering purposes. The rendition of the interior of the wedge can be adjusted with changes to Face Color and Face Pattern. The circumference of a wedge can be made distinct from the interior through the use of Edge Color, Edge Pattern and Edge Weight. A chord's Visibility and Selectability are controlled by the "edge", "face", and "polygon" keywords.

The order of the specified points is important. Specifically, the wedge begins at the first point, is drawn through the second point and continues through the third point. The center of a circle defined by the 3 points is computed. Lines are drawn from the first point to the center and from the third point to the center. The wedge is defined as the area bounded by the points.
