draw ellipse using script

[widow9098]

can someone help me draw a ellipse with a java script?

One method is to duplicate the functionality of the EllipseCPP.js or EllipseArcCPPA.js scripts.
Analog to this story:

EllipseCPP.js ends up calling the EllipseArcCPPA.js script.
The major part of the script is data collection.
That data you have at hand.
Seems we need a REllipse
EllipseArcCPPA.prototype.getEllipse Line 487.
Adapted:

Code: Select all

var newEllipse = new REllipse(center, majorPoint, ratio, param1, param2, reversed)

The operation ('op' in this case) is prepared in:
EllipseArcCPPA.prototype.getOperation Line 258-287.
Adapted:

Code: Select all

var shape = Ellipse.postProcess(newEllipse);
var entity = shapeToEntity(this.getDocument(), shape);
var op = new RAddObjectOperation(entity, yourToolTitle);

As last this operation has to be casted:

Code: Select all

di.applyOperation(op);

Where 'di' is your document interface; 'op' the generated operation.
It occured to me in the recent past that this.getDocument() failed. Ifso replace it with your document.

The other method would be to preset all the data and parse it to the Ellipse script.

But rather undocumented it can be harder to figure out how.
