Parameters
Position
An IPosition66 representing the position and orientation of the object on the terrain.
Length
The length of the arrow from head to tail in meters.
Style
The style of the arrow. Can be one of the following:
LineColor
The color of the lines that make up the 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 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 arrow 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 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 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
pITerrainArrow66
An ITerrainArrow66, representing the newly created arrow.
Exceptions
See: HRESULT Return Values for a list of possible values returned by the HRESULT.
Remarks
At creation time, the elevation parameter indicates the tip of the arrow’s head above the terrain. If the client wants to later change that (via the object’s SetPosition method), the height is measured from the center of the arrow.
