convertToArcByBulge()

Converts to an arc by bulge. If the arc is not circular (isCircular() returns False), then the arc cannot be converted to arc by bulge, and an error is returned.

Returns: None

Raises:

FMEException - An exception is raised if an error occurred.

convertToArcByCenterPoint()

Converts to an arc by center point. If the arc cannot be converted, then an error is returned.

Returns: None

Raises:

FMEException - An exception is raised if an error occurred.

getBulge()

Returns the bulge value. An error is returned if an error occurs.

The bulge value of the arc.

FMEException - An exception is raised if an error occurred.

getCenterPoint()

Returns the center point of the arc. An error is returned if an error occurs.

Returns: FMEPoint

The center point of the arc.

Raises:

FMEException - An exception is raised if an error occurred.

getMeasureValues(as3Points, measureName)

Return the values of the measure named by 'measureName', otherwise returns the values of the defaut measure. Returns an error if the measure does not exist. If 'as3Points' is True, then the values of the measure are returned as 3 points.

Parameters:

as3Points (bool) - Whether to return the values as 3 points
measureName (string) - (Optional) The name of the measure whose values to return.

Returns: tuple of floats

The measure values of the arc.

Raises:

FMEException - An exception is raised if an error occurred.

Returns mid point, which will be interpolated halfway along the arc if the underlying storage is not by 3 points. If an arc is elliptical, an error is returned.

Returns: FMEPoint

The mid point of the arc.

Raises:

FMEException - An exception is raised if an error occurred.

getPrimaryRadius()

Returns the primary radius of the arc.

Returns: float: The primary radius of the arc.

getPropertiesAs3Points()

Returns the arc geometry as a tuple of three points. If the arc is elliptical, an error is returned.

The structure of the tuple returned is as follows: (startPoint, midPoint, endPoint).

Returns: tuple of FMEPoints

The arc geometry as three points.

Raises:

FMEException - An exception is raised if an error occurred.

getPropertiesAsBulge()

Returns the arc geometry as a tuple of two points and a bulge value. If the arc is elliptical, an error is returned.

The structure of the tuple returned is as follows: (startPoint, midPoint, bulge).

Returns: tuple of FMEPoints and float

The arc geometry as two points and a bulge value.

Raises:

getPropertiesAsCentered(withEnds)

Returns the arc properties. If 'withEnds' is True, the end points will be computed and returned. Note that measures are only stored on the end points. All angles are CCW up from the horizontal, and rotation is measured in degrees. Also, startAngle and sweepAngle aren't angles'. Refer to the @Arc (function) in the FME Functions and Factories manual for a detailed definition of start_angle.

The structure of the tuple returned if withEnds is True is as follows: (centerPoint, rotation, primaryRadius, secondaryRadius, startAngle, sweepAngle, startPoint, endPoint)

The structure of the tuple returned if withEnds is False is as follows: (centerPoint, rotation, primaryRadius, secondaryRadius, startAngle, sweepAngle)

Returns: tuple of FMEPoints and floats: The arc geometry as a centered point definition.

getRotation()

Returns the rotation of the arc. All angles are CCW up from the horizontal, and are measured in degrees.

Returns: float: The rotation of the arc.

getSecondaryRadius()

Returns the secondary radius of the arc.

Returns: float: The secondary radius of the arc.

getStartAngle()

All angles are CCW up from the horizontal. Note: startAngle is a t angle. Refer to the @Arc (function) in the FME Functions and Factories manual for a detailed definition of startAngle.

hasExplicitEndpoints()

This returns True if the arc's end points have been explicitly set, and False otherwise. The get() method that returns end points will calculate the end points if none have been specified. If this is not desired, this method can be called first to determine whether the mentioned get() should be called or if the get() that does not take end points should be called.

Returns: bool: True if the arc has explicit end points, False otherwise.

isCW()

This returns True if the arc is clockwise, or False otherwise.

Returns: bool: True if the arc is clockwise, False otherwise.

isCircular()

This returns True if the arc's primary and secondary radii are the same length, and False otherwise.

Returns: bool: True if the arc is circular, False otherwise.

optimalArcTypeRetrieval()

Returns the arc type whose parameters that define the arc can be retrieved most efficiently and accurately.

Returns: int: The arc type.

setCenterPoint(centerPoint)

Sets the center point of the arc. The arc is converted to an arc by center point as a result of this method.

Parameters:

centerPoint (FMEPoint) - The center point to set on the arc.

Returns: None

Raises:

FMEException - An exception is raised if an error occurred.

setMeasureValues(as3Points, measureTuple, measureName)

This assigns the values given in the tuple 'measureTuple' to the default measure, or the measure named by 'measureName' if given. This creates the measure if it doesn't already exist.

If 'as3Points' is True, the measure will be set as three points, hence if measureTuple does not contain three FMEPoint objects, an error is returned. If the underlying arc is not stored by 3 points, the "midPoint" value of the tuple (i.e. measureTuple[1]), will be ignored.

Parameters:

measureName (string) - (Optional) The name of the measure whose values to set.

Returns: None

setMidPoint(midPoint)

Sets the midpoint of the arc. It only sets the midpoint if the arc can be successfully converted to an arc by mid point.

Parameters:

midPoint (FMEPoint) - The midpoint to set on the arc.

Returns: None

Raises:

FMEException - An exception is raised if an error occurred.

setPrimaryRadius(primaryRadius)

Parameters:

primaryRadius (float) - The primary radius to set on the arc.

Returns: None

setRotation(rotation)

Sets the rotation of the arc. The arc is converted to an arc by center point before setting the rotation.

setSecondaryRadius(secondaryRadius)

Sets the secondary radius of the arc. The arc is converted to an arc by center point before setting the secondary radius.

Parameters:

secondaryRadius (float) - The primary radius to set on the arc.

Returns: None

setStartAngle(startAngle)

Sets the start angle of the arc, measured counter-clockwise up from the horizontal. Note: 'startAngle' is a t angle. Refer to the @Arc (function) in the FME Functions and Factories manual for a detailed definition of startAngle.

Parameters:

startAngle (float) - The start angle to set on the arc.

Returns: None

setSweepAngle(sweepAngle)

Sets the sweep angle of the arc, measured counter-clockwise up from the horizontal. Note: 'sweepAngle' is a t angle. The arc is first converted to an arc by center point before the 'sweepAngle' is set. Refer to the @Arc (function) in the FME Functions and Factories manual for a detailed definition of sweepAngle.

Parameters:

sweepAngle (float) - The sweep angle to set on the arc.

Returns: None
