Parameters

Position

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

Radius

The radius of the regular polygon in meters.

NumOfSegments

The number of segments the regular polygon has. The more segments, the smoother and more circular it appears.

LineColor

The color of the lines that make up the regular polygon. 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 regular polygon, 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 regular polygon 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 regular polygon as it appears in the Project Tree. If an empty string is passed into this parameter, TerraExplorer assigns it a unique name.

Return Value

PITerrainRegPolygon80

An ITerrainRegularPolygon80 representing the newly created regular polygon.

Exceptions
