![]() | ApplyAnimationClock(DependencyProperty^, AnimationClock^) | Applies an AnimationClock to the specified DependencyProperty. If the property is already animated, the SnapshotAndReplace handoff behavior is used.(Inherited from Animatable.) |

![]() | BeginAnimation(DependencyProperty^, AnimationTimeline^) | Applies an animation to the specified DependencyProperty. The animation is started when the next frame is rendered. If the specified property is already animated, the SnapshotAndReplace handoff behavior is used.(Inherited from Animatable.) |
![]() | BeginAnimation(DependencyProperty^, AnimationTimeline^, HandoffBehavior) | Applies an animation to the specified DependencyProperty. The animation is started when the next frame is rendered.

![]() | Clone() | Creates a modifiable clone of this ArcSegment, making deep copies of this object's values. When copying dependency properties, this method copies resource references and data bindings (but they might no longer resolve) but not animations or their current values. |
![]() | CloneCurrentValue() | Creates a modifiable clone of this ArcSegment object, making deep copies of this object's current values. Resource references, data bindings, and animations are not copied, but their current values are. |
![]() | CoerceValue(DependencyProperty^) | Coerces the value of the specified dependency property. This is accomplished by invoking any CoerceValueCallback function specified in property metadata for the dependency property as it exists on the calling DependencyObject.(Inherited from DependencyObject.) |
![]() | Equals(Object^) | Determines whether a provided DependencyObject is equivalent to the current DependencyObject.(Inherited from DependencyObject.) |
![]() | Freeze() | |
![]() | GetAnimationBaseValue(DependencyProperty^) | Returns the non-animated value of the specified DependencyProperty.(Inherited from Animatable.) |
![]() | GetAsFrozen() | |
![]() | GetCurrentValueAsFrozen() | |
![]() | GetHashCode() | Gets a hash code for this DependencyObject.(Inherited from DependencyObject.) |
![]() | GetLocalValueEnumerator() | Creates a specialized enumerator for determining which dependency properties have locally set values on this DependencyObject. (Inherited from DependencyObject.) |
![]() | GetType() | |
![]() | GetValue(DependencyProperty^) | Returns the current effective value of a dependency property on this instance of a DependencyObject. (Inherited from DependencyObject.) |
![]() | InvalidateProperty(DependencyProperty^) | Re-evaluates the effective value for the specified dependency property(Inherited from DependencyObject.) |
![]() | ReadLocalValue(DependencyProperty^) | Returns the local value of a dependency property, if it exists. (Inherited from DependencyObject.) |
![]() | SetCurrentValue(DependencyProperty^, Object^) | Sets the value of a dependency property without changing its value source. (Inherited from DependencyObject.) |
![]() | SetValue(DependencyProperty^, Object^) | Sets the local value of a dependency property, specified by its dependency property identifier. (Inherited from DependencyObject.) |
![]() | SetValue(DependencyPropertyKey^, Object^) | Sets the local value of a read-only dependency property, specified by the DependencyPropertyKey identifier of the dependency property. (Inherited from DependencyObject.) |
![]() | ShouldSerializeProperty(DependencyProperty^) | Returns a value that indicates whether serialization processes should serialize the value for the provided dependency property.(Inherited from DependencyObject.) |
![]() | ToString() | Returns a string that represents the current object.(Inherited from Object.) |
![]() | VerifyAccess() | Enforces that the calling thread has access to this DispatcherObject.(Inherited from DispatcherObject.) |

Use a PathFigure object to store ArcSegment objects and other segments.
An elliptical arc is defined by its start and end points, x- and y-radius, x-axis rotation factor, a value indicating whether the arc should be greater than 180 degrees, and a value describing the direction in which the arc is drawn. The ArcSegment class does not contain a property for the starting point of the arc; it only defines the destination point of the arc it represents. The beginning point of the arc is the current point of the PathFigure to which the ArcSegment is added.
The following illustrations demonstrate the different end point, Size, and RotationAngle settings.



For most arcs of a particular position, size, and rotation, there are four different arcs that can be drawn; the IsLargeArc and SweepDirection properties indicate which arc to use.
Of the four candidate arc sweeps, two represent large arcs with sweeps of 180 degrees or greater, and two represent smaller arcs with sweeps 180 degrees or less. If IsLargeArc is true, then one of the two larger arc sweeps is chosen; otherwise, if is false, one of the smaller arc sweeps is chosen. The remaining two arc candidates are each drawn in a different direction: Counterclockwise or Clockwise. The SweepDirection property specifies which one to use.
The following illustrations show different IsLargeArc and SweepDirection settings.
