Arc - Draws an Arc with the given inputs

Last updated 2 years ago

Example

arc(200, 200, 300, 150, 0, 90)

Syntax

arc(x, y, width, height, Starting angle, Ending angle)
Input
Description

x

x co-ordinate of the center

y

y co-ordinate of the center

width

width of the arc (length in x direction)

height

height of the arc (length in y direction)

starting angle

counter-clockwise angle of first arc arm from the positive x-axis

ending angle

counter-clockwise angle of second arc arm from the positive x-axis

(x, y, width, height...)

(..., Starting angle, ...)

(..., Ending angle)

Description

arc() draws an arc on the canvas, using the inputs to determine the position and dimension of the shape. The width and height of the arc must always be parallel to the x-axis and y-axis respectively - this can only be changed separately with a rotation. The starting and ending angle must always be given in a counter-clockwise direction starting from the positive x-axis.
