ArcSegment.SweepDirection Property

Definition

Gets or sets a value that specifies whether the arc is drawn in the Clockwise or Counterclockwise direction.

public:
 property System::Windows::Media::SweepDirection SweepDirection { System::Windows::Media::SweepDirection get(); void set(System::Windows::Media::SweepDirection value); };
public System.Windows.Media.SweepDirection SweepDirection { get; set; }
member this.SweepDirection : System.Windows.Media.SweepDirection with get, set
Public Property SweepDirection As SweepDirection

Property Value

A value that specifies the direction in which the arc is drawn. The default value is Counterclockwise.

Remarks

For an ArcSegment with a given Size, RotationAngle, start point, and end Point, four different arcs are possible. Specifying the IsLargeArc property reduces the number of possible arcs to two: an arc drawn from the start point to the end Point in a Clockwise direction and an arc drawn from the start point to the end point in a Counterclockwise direction.

The following illustration shows two elliptical arcs that are identical except for their SweepDirection settings.
