- radiusX [in]
-
Type: number
The major-axis radius of the ellipse.
- radiusY [in]
-
Type: number
The minor-axis radius of the ellipse.
- rotation [in]
-
Type: number
The rotation, in degrees, for the ellipse.
- startAngle [in]
-
Type: number
The starting angle, in radians, measured from the x-axis.
- endAngle [in]
-
Type: number
The ending angle, in radians.
- anticlockwise [in]
-
