Equivalent of Oval Graphic Angles?
Posted: Fri Mar 13, 2015 1:25 pm
With oval graphics in LiveCode, we have startAngle and arcAngle properties. Are there equivalent properties in LC Builder?
Code: Select all
// Create an elliptical arc path
variable tPath
put arc path centered at point [100,100] with radii [100,75] from 0 to 270 into tPath
// Create a circular arc path
variable tPath
put arc path centered at point [100,100] with radius 100 from 0 to 270 into tPath
// Create an elliptical sector path
variable tPath
put sector path centered at point [100,100] with radii [100,75] from 0 to 270 into tPath
// Create a circular sector path
variable tPath
put sector path centered at point [100,100] with radius 100 from 0 to 270 into tPath
// Create an elliptical segment path
variable tPath
put segment path centered at point [100,100] with radii [100,75] from 0 to 270 into tPath
// Create a circular segment path
variable tPath
put segment path centered at point [100,100] with radius 100 from 0 to 270 into tPath
A 'sector' path is the 'arc' with the two end-points joined via the center point (i.e. piece of pie).
A 'segment' path is the 'arc' with the two end-points joined directly.
Note: We will also be adding 'arc to' path construction syntax - although this needs a bit more thought as to the best way to do it as partial elliptical arcs aren't the easiest thing to express in a path form (the SVG path parsing support does support the SVG arcto commands now though). The enhancement request for this is http://quality.runrev.com/show_bug.cgi?id=14896 - currently slated for DP2 but that is contingent on figuring out the syntax, and also whether anything higher priority crops up before then.
