Creates and returns a generic location-type point, using the robot type given by the second, long-type argument, whereas coordinate values are taken from the first argument. If the first argument is a scalar, the resulting point will be composed of identical coordinates. Using an array as first argument will result in a point composed of the first "number-of-coordinates" (determined by the robot type) array elements.

Syntax

<location_variable> = castlocation (<long_scalar_expression>, <long_expression>)

<location_variable> = castlocation (<double_scalar_expression>, <long_expression>)

<location_variable> = castlocation (<long_array>, <long_expression>)

<location_variable> = castlocation (<double_array>, <long_expression>)

Availability

Version 4.9.11 and up.

Type

Location

Scope

Configuration, Task, Terminal

Limitations

Only a single-dimension array can be used as argument.

Number of array elements must be equal or greater than number of coordinates.

Examples

GenLocation = CASTLOCATION(0.5, TYPE_XYZ)

? CASTLOCATION(ArrayOf6Longs, TYPE_XYZR)
