Parameters

Position

An IPosition80 representing the position and orientation of the rectangle on the terrain.

ObjectWidth

The width of the rectangle in meters.

ObjectDepth

The depth of the rectangle in meters.

LineColor

The color of the lines that make up the rectangle. The color value is used to specify color and transparency values. This parameter can be any of the following:

·          An IColor80 object.

·          A number which represents the color in ABGR format (0xAABBGGRR). The low-order byte contains a value for the relative intensity of red; the second byte contains a value for green; the third byte contains a value for blue. The high-order byte contains a value for alpha.

·          A string that represents HTML color format (“#RRGGBB”).

FillColor

The color which fills the rectangle, if the alpha value is greater than zero. The color value is used to specify color and transparency values. This parameter can be any of the following:

·          An IColor80 object.

·          A number which represents the color in ABGR format (0xAABBGGRR). The low-order byte contains a value for the relative intensity of red; the second byte contains a value for green; the third byte contains a value for blue. The high-order byte contains a value for alpha.

·          A string that represents HTML color format (“#RRGGBB”).

GroupID

The Project Tree group in which the rectangle is created. If it is set to an empty string, the object is created under the root. You can obtain the GroupID by one of the following methods:

·          Create the group using IProjectTree80.CreateGroup.

·          Find the group, if you know the name, using IProjectTree80.FindItem.

·          Traverse the Tree using IProjectTree80 methods such as GetNextItem, until you come to the desired GroupID.

Description

The name of the rectangle as it appears in the Project Tree. If an empty string is passed into this parameter, TerraExplorer assigns it a unique name.

Return Value

pITerrainRectangle80

An ITerrainRectangle80, representing the newly created rectangle.

Exceptions

See: HRESULT Return Values for a list of possible values returned by the HRESULT.

Remarks

The rectangle is initially created with its orientation aligned with the north. The client can then change its orientation using the IPosition80 interface.
