Graphics.DrawArc Method (Pen, Rectangle, Single, Single)
Assembly: System.Drawing (in system.drawing.dll)
public void DrawArc ( Pen pen, Rectangle rect, float startAngle, float sweepAngle )
public function DrawArc ( pen : Pen, rect : Rectangle, startAngle : float, sweepAngle : float )
Not applicable.
Parameters
- pen
Pen that determines the color, width, and style of the arc.
- rect
RectangleF structure that defines the boundaries of the ellipse.
- startAngle
Angle in degrees measured clockwise from the x-axis to the starting point of the arc.
- sweepAngle
Angle in degrees measured clockwise from the startAngle parameter to ending point of the arc.
The following code example is designed for use with Windows Forms, and it requires PaintEventArgse, which is a parameter of the Paint event handler. The code performs the following actions:
-
Creates a black pen.
-
Creates a rectangle to bound an ellipse.
-
Defines the start (45 degrees) and sweep (270 degrees) angles.
-
Draws the elliptical arc to the screen.
The result is a partial ellipse missing a segment between + and - 45 degrees of the x axis.
private: void DrawArcRectangle( PaintEventArgs^ e ) { // Create pen. Pen^ blackPen = gcnew Pen( Color::Black,3.0f ); // Create rectangle to bound ellipse. Rectangle rect = Rectangle(0,0,100,200); // Create start and sweep angles on ellipse. float startAngle = 45.0F; float sweepAngle = 270.0F; // Draw arc to screen. e->Graphics->DrawArc( blackPen, rect, startAngle, sweepAngle ); }
