Gets or sets the amount (in degrees) by which the ellipse is rotated about the x-axis. This is a dependency property.

Property Value
Type:
System..::.DoubleThe amount (in degrees) by which the ellipse is rotated about the x-axis. The default value is 0.
Dependency Property Information
The following illustration shows several elliptical arcs that are identical except for their RotationAngle settings.
Several ArcSegment objects with different RotationAngle settings

Note that, if the arc's width and height are the same, setting this property has no effect.
This example shows how to draw an elliptical arc. To create an elliptical arc, use the PathGeometry, PathFigure, and ArcSegment classes.
In the following examples, an elliptical arc is drawn from (10,100) to (200,100). The arc has a Size of 100 by 50 device-independent pixels, a RotationAngle of 45 degrees, an IsLargeArc setting of true, and a SweepDirection of Counterclockwise.
xaml
In Extensible Application Markup Language (XAML), you can use attribute syntax to describe a path.
<Path Stroke="Black" StrokeThickness="1"
Data="M 10,100 A 100,50 45 1 0 200,100" />
xaml
(Note that this attribute syntax actually creates a StreamGeometry, a lighter-weight version of a PathGeometry. For more information, see the Path Markup Syntax page.)
In XAML, you can also draw an elliptical arc by explicitly using object tags. The following is equivalent to the preceding XAML markup.
<Path Stroke="Black" StrokeThickness="1">
<Path.Data>
<PathGeometry>
<PathGeometry.Figures>
<PathFigureCollection>
<PathFigure StartPoint="10,100">
<PathFigure.Segments>
<PathSegmentCollection>
<ArcSegment Size="100,50" RotationAngle="45" IsLargeArc="True" SweepDirection="CounterClockwise" Point="200,100" />
</PathSegmentCollection>
</PathFigure.Segments>
</PathFigure>
</PathFigureCollection>
</PathGeometry.Figures>
</PathGeometry>
</Path.Data>
</Path>
