Parameters

Position

An IPosition66 representing the 3D arrow’s head position and the orientation of the object on the terrain.

Length

The length of the 3-dimensional arrow from head to tail in meters.

Style

The style of the 3-dimensional arrow. Can be one of the following when looking at the arrow from a top-view:
 3d-Arrow-Style-COM 

ObjectHeight

The height of the 3-dimensional arrow in meters.

LineColor

The color of the lines that make up the 3-dimensional arrow. The color value is used to specify color and transparency values. This parameter can be any of the following:

·          An IColor66 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 3-dimensional arrow, 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 IColor66 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 3-dimensional arrow is created. If it is set to zero, the arrow is created under the root. You can obtain the GroupID by one of the following methods:

·          Create the group using IProjectTree66.CreateGroup.

·          Find the group, if you know the name, using IProjectTree66.FindItem.

·          Traverse the Tree using IProjectTree66 methods such as GetNextItem, until you come to the desired GroupID.

Description

The name of the 3-dimensional arrow as it appears in the Project Tree. If an empty string is passed into this parameter, TerraExplorer assigns it a unique name.

Return Value

pITerrain3DArrow66

An ITerrain3DArrow66 representing the newly created 3-dimensional arrow.

Exceptions
