Synopsis
PDX_MSGT dxcr_Ellipse(long option, MDA_PTR orig_db_ptr, double center[3], double majaxis[3], double minlen, double t0, double t1, double normal[3], int dxf_model, MDA_PTR *dxf_db_ptr)
Purpose
Creates a DXF ellipse.
Description
Creates a DXF ellipse entity in the specified model based on data provided. The data provided must result in a valid definition.
The orig_db_ptr argument should contain the database pointer of the entity that the new entity was created from (usually this should be obtained by the calling routine via mda_GetOrigDbptr) or MDA_NULL_PTR. See the mda_intro man page for more information about predecessor entities.
Input
option
Options (not used)
orig_db_ptr
The database pointer of the originating entity
center
The world XYZ center of the ellipse
majaxis

minlen
Minor axis length (ratio of minor/major)
t0
The starting angle of the ellipse.
t1
The ending angle of the ellipse.
normal
Entities normal vector
dxf_model
The model for creating the DXF entity or entities
Output
dxf_db_ptr
The database pointer of the resulting DXF entity
Return
DXCR_NOERR
Low level error return
