APIIo_DrawRubberArcID |

Draws graphical feedback during an input process.

    GSErrCode ACAPI_Interface (
        APIIo_DrawRubberArcID,
        API_RubberArcType*     rubberArc
    );

Parameters

rubberArc: [in] Definition of the arc (circle or elliptic) to be drawn.

Return Values

NoError: The function has completed with success.
APIERR_GENERAL: no rubber line callback function has been defined
APIERR_BADPARS: rubberArc->arcType is neither APIRubberArc_OrigoAngles nor APIRubberArc_ThreePoint

For other common API errors see the API Errors document.

Remarks

This function is used to draw rubber arcs while a user input. The function can be called only from the RubberLineInfoProc passed to the given input function; APIIo_GetPointID or APIIo_GetLineID or APIIo_GetArcID or APIIo_GetPolyID.

The arc is defined with the coordinate of the center point, the radius (or ‘a’ if ellipse), the beginning angle of the arc and the ending angle of the arc or with the coordinate of the center point, the beginning point of the arc, the ending point of the arc and the sign of the arc’s angle (see API_RubberArcType).
