Hi,
I tried drawing a circle but this seems to be not quite a circle:
Dim pCircleArc As IConstructCircularArc
pCircleArc = New CircularArc
pCircleArc.ConstructCircle(pOrigin,radius,True)
Dim pPolygon As IPolygonpPolygon = New Polygon
pPolygon.SpatialReference = pSpRef
Dim pSegmentCollection As ISegmentCollection
pSegmentCollection = pPolygon
pSegmentCollection.AddSegment(pCircleArc)
Dim pElement As IElementpElement = New PolygonElement
pElement.Geometry = pPolygon
Dim pFSElem As IFillShapeElement
pFSElem = pElementpFSElem.Symbol = pSFSym
Dim pGraphicsContainer As IGraphicsContainer
pGraphicsContainer = bmap
pGraphicsContainer.AddElement(pElement, -1)
I thought to try another approach:
Dim pMap As IMap
pMap = pDoc.FocusMap
Dim pSpRef As ISpatialReference
pSpRef = pMap.SpatialReference
Dim pPt As IPoint = New Point
pPt.X = 0
pPt.Y = 0
pPt.SpatialReference = pSpRef
Dim f As IFeature = New Feature
f.Shape.SpatialReference = pSpRef
f.Shape = pPt
Dim topop As ESRI.ArcGIS.Geometry.ITopologicalOperator
topop = f.shape
Dim elt As ESRI.ArcGIS.Carto.PolygonElement
elt = New PolygonElement
elt.Geometry = topop.butter(24)
Dim gc As IGraphicsContainer = pMap
gc.AddElement(elt,0)
The error I get is "All geometries involved in this operation must have the same spatial reference."
Image?
It is either because you drew a circle using unprojected data and it looks like an ellipse or its edges aren't perfectly round which is because most circle implementations are n-gons (generally a 360 sided polygon)
