PathOperationEllipticArcToWithFlags

Type

statement

Summary

Adds an arc to a path.

Syntax

arc to <mEnd> with radii <mRadii> rotated by <mAngle> taking ( largest | smallest ) ( clockwise | anticlockwise ) route on <mPath>

Description

Adds an arc from the previous point to mEnd on mPath, following a section of an ellipse with the given radii & angle. As there can be two different ellipses that match the parameters, and two potential arcs for each ellipse, the largest, smallest, clockwise, and anticlockwise options allow one arc to specified from the four potential arcs.

Parameters

Name	Type	Description
mEnd		An expression which evaluates to a point.
mRadii		An expression which evaluates to a list of numbers.
mAngle		An expression which evaluates to a number.
mPath		An expression which evaluates to a path.

Examples

variable tPath
put the empty path into tPath

// Begin a new subpath
move to point [25, 50] on tPath

// Continue path with an arc to 50,25
arc to point [50, 25] with radii [25, 25] rotated by 0 taking smallest clockwise route on tPath

// Begin a new subpath
move to point [75, 50] on tPath
// Continue path with a large arc to 50,75
arc to point [50, 75] with radii [25, 25] rotated by 0 taking largest clockwise route on tPath
