From: scuri Fills the arc of an ellipse aligned with the axis, according to the current
- interior style, in the shape of a pie. It is drawn counter-clockwise. The
+ interior style, in the shape of a pie. The
coordinate (xc,yc) defines the center of the ellipse.
Dimensions w and h define the elliptic axes X
and Y, respectively. Angles angle1 and angle2, in degrees,
- define the arc's beginning and end, but they are not the angle relative to the
+ Angles angle1 and angle2 are in degrees and oriented
+ counter-clockwise. They
+ define the arc start and end, but they are not the angle relative to the
center, except when w==h and the ellipse is reduced to a circle. The arc
- starts at the point (xc+(w/2)*cos(angle1),yc+(h/2)*sin(angle1))
- and ends at (xc+(w/2)*cos(angle2),yc+(h/2)*sin(angle2)). A
- complete ellipse can be drawn using 0 and 360 as the angles.
The angles are specified so if the size of the ellipse (w x h) is changed, its shape is preserved. So the angles relative to the center are dependent - from the ellipse size. The actual angle can be obtained using rangle = - atan2((h/2)*sin(angle),(w/2)*cos(angle)).
-The angles are given in degrees. To specify the angle in radians, you can + from the ellipse size. The actual angle can be obtained using rangle = + atan2((h/2)*sin(angle), (w/2)*cos(angle)).
+To specify the angle in radians, you can use the definition CD_RAD2DEG to multiply the value in radians before passing the angle to CD.
When the interior style CD_HOLLOW is defined, - the function behaves like its equivalent cdArc, + the function behaves like its equivalent cdCanvasArc, plus two lines connecting to the center.
