Description

This function adds a filled circular arc graphic or, with an angle of 360 degrees, a filled circle graphic to the specified 3D graphics list, allowing you to, for example, view the filled circular arc graphic on a 3D display.

You must specify the label of the 3D graphic, in the 3D graphics list, to use as the parent of the filled arc graphic. When the filled arc graphic is added to the 3D graphics list's tree structure, it is added as a child under the specified parent. If the 3D graphics list is empty, the filled arc graphic's parent must be the root node. The coordinates of the filled arc's vertices are expressed in the coordinate system of the filled arc graphic's parent.

The filled arc graphic has its own coordinate system that represents the filled arc's position and orientation with respect to its parent's coordinate system. The filled arc's coordinate system's origin is the filled arc's center, its X-axis is the vector directed from the filled arc's center to the filled arc's start point, and its Z-axis is the filled arc's normal vector. You can inquire the filled arc's start point and normal vector using M3dgraInquire with M_START_POINT_... and M_NORMAL..., respectively. You can change the position and orientation of the filled arc graphic using M3dgraCopy with M_TRANSFORMATION_MATRIX.

To modify or inquire 3D graphics list settings, use M3dgraControl or M3dgraInquire, respectively.

Note: Unlike most other functions that modify an Aurora Imaging Library object, you can call this function concurrently from multiple threads on the same Aurora Imaging Library 3D graphics list (List3dgraId) without using an M_MUTEX object, as long as all the other parameters of the concurrent calls do not also share data.

Parameters

List3dgraId (out, AIL_ID)

Specifies the identifier of the 3D graphics list in which to add the filled arc graphic. The 3D graphics list must have been previously allocated on the required system using M3dgraAlloc, or you can specify the identifier of the 3D display's internal graphics list (inquired using M3ddispInquire with M_3D_GRAPHIC_LIST_ID).

ParentLabel (in, AIL_INT64)

Specifies the label of the parent of the filled arc graphic in the 3D graphics list.

For specifying the parent label

Value	Description
M_DEFAULT	Same as M_ROOT_NODE.
M_ROOT_NODE	Specifies the top-most node of the 3D graphics list.
Value >= 0	Specifies the label of the parent of the filled arc graphic in the 3D graphics list. Label 0 is the 3D graphics list's root node.

CreationMode (in, AIL_INT64)

Specifies how the filled arc graphic is defined.

X1 (in, AIL_DOUBLE)

Specifies the X-coordinate of the first point used to define the filled arc.

Y1 (in, AIL_DOUBLE)

Specifies the Y-coordinate of the first point used to define the filled arc.

Z1 (in, AIL_DOUBLE)

Specifies the Z-coordinate of the first point used to define the filled arc.

X2 (in, AIL_DOUBLE)

Specifies the X-coordinate of the second point used to define the filled arc.

Y2 (in, AIL_DOUBLE)

Specifies the Y-coordinate of the second point used to define the filled arc.

Z2 (in, AIL_DOUBLE)

Specifies the Z-coordinate of the second point used to define the filled arc.

X3 (in, AIL_DOUBLE)

Specifies the X-coordinate of the third point used to define the filled arc.

Y3 (in, AIL_DOUBLE)

Specifies the Y-coordinate of the third point used to define the filled arc.

Z3 (in, AIL_DOUBLE)

Specifies the Z-coordinate of the third point used to define the filled arc.

Angle (in, AIL_DOUBLE)

Specifies the angle used to define the filled arc.

ControlFlag (in, AIL_INT64)

Reserved for future expansion and must be set to M_DEFAULT.

Parameter Associations

For specifying the filled arc graphic

Set unused parameters to M_DEFAULT.

M_CENTER_AND_TWO_POINTS

Defines a filled circular arc graphic using a center and two end points. The result will be a filled circular arc, with a radius defined by the center and the first end point. The filled arc extends from the first end point to the point on the line that passes through the center and the second end point. Therefore, the second end point does not have to be a point on the filled arc.[Image: 3dgra_arc_fill_center_and_two_points.png]

Value	Description
M_DEFAULT
M_BIGGEST_ANGLE	Specifies to use the biggest angle formed by the specified center and end points.
M_SMALLEST_ANGLE (default)	Specifies to use the smallest angle formed by the specified center and end points.

---

M_CENTER_AND_TWO_VECTORS

Defines a filled circular arc graphic using a center and two vectors. The first vector defines the distance between the center and the first end point, and its magnitude determines the filled arc radius. The second vector defines the distance between the center and the second end point. The result will be a filled circular arc that extends from the first end point, to the point on the line that passes through the center and the second end point. Therefore, the second end point does not have to be a point on the filled arc.[Image: 3dgra_arc_fill_center_and_two_vectors.png]

Value	Description
M_DEFAULT
M_BIGGEST_ANGLE	Specifies to use the biggest angle formed by the specified center and end points.
M_SMALLEST_ANGLE (default)	Specifies to use the smallest angle formed by the specified center and end points.

---

M_NORMAL_AND_ANGLE

Defines a filled circular arc graphic using a center, a starting vector, a normal vector, and an filled arc angle. The starting vector defines the direction between the center and the start point, as well as the filled arc radius. The direction in which the filled arc extends follows the right-hand rule. If the starting direction vector and the normal vector are not perpendicular, the normal vector is orthogonalized.[Image: 3dgra_arc_fill_normal_and_angle.png]

---

M_THREE_POINTS

Defines a filled circular arc graphic using three points on the filled arc. The filled arc starts at the first point, passes through the second point, and ends at the third point.[Image: 3dgra_arc_fill_three_points.png]

Return Value

Type: AIL_INT64

Returns the label of the filled arc graphic added to the 3D graphics list.
