LAnnPointer::GetRotateAngle

#include "ltwrappr.h"

virtual L_INT LAnnPointer::GetRotateAngle(pdAngle)

L_DOUBLE *pdAngle;

/* pointer to a double that returns the rotate angle */

Gets the rotation angle for an annotation object.

Parameter	Description
pdAngle	Pointer to a double variable to be updated with the rotation angle.

Returns

SUCCESS	The function was successful.
< 1	An error occurred. Refer to Return Codes.

Comments

Call this function to get the rotation angle for a particular annotation object.

The angle is in radians, and uses the following convention.

The possible range of rotate values is (-Pi) ... (Pi)

A rotation in the clockwise direction is considered a positive rotation.

A rotation in the counter-clockwise direction is considered a negative rotation.

For example, if a rectangle is rotated 90 degrees in the counter clockwise direction, this function will get (-PI/2) for the rotation angle. If a rectangle is rotated 90 degrees in the clockwise direction, this function will get PI/2 for the rotation angle. If a rectangle is rotated 270 degrees in the counter clockwise direction, this is equivalent to 90 degrees in the clockwise direction so the rotation value returned is PI/2.
