Sample App - Producing DXF Polylines and CirclesBelow we provide some commented code that illustrates how to use the circularize function to take a collection of vertices (let's assume they represent polygons generated by some 2D Boolean operator) and produce AutoCAD DXF using polylines. The AutoCAD polyline can contain segments and arcs. Also, though it is legal to create a single 360 degree polyline with one arc, if we run into that condition we want to write it to DXF as a circle.
// DXF output Example of Circularize Library Usage
// Get a Handle (normally would check to see if handle is valid)
CircularizeIndex = CircularizeDllInit_MT();
// Arcsag [Chord Error] required; check it is set to a reasonable value
// insures the value is not too fine for the data grid
if(ArcSag/UserUnit < 10.0)
SetArcsag(10.0, CircularizeIndex);
else
SetArcsag(ArcSag/UserUnit, CircularizeIndex);
// Inputs
// xy is the input array of xy points defining the polygon
// Nvrt is the number of vertices making up the polygon
// first vertex and last vertex must be same point (like in GDSII)
rtn = Circularize(Nvrt, xy, &pCircularData, &pNum, CircularizeIndex);
// a return code of 1 means function operated successfully
if(rtn == 1) {
// if only one item returned, implies we have a circle (a single arc)
if(pNum == 1) {
xval = pCircularData[0]; // starting point X
yval = pCircularData[1]; // starting point Y
xc = pCircularData[2]; // center X
yc = pCircularData[3]; // center Y
radius = fabs(pCircularData[4]); // absolute value of radius
r0 = radius * UserUnit;
x0 = xc * UserUnit;
y0 = yc * UserUnit;

Annotated PolylineA polyline with two arcs was drawn using AutoCAD and saved as a DXF file. After removing "uneccessary" entries such as handles and Z coordinates the diagram below shows the syntax.
