GUI Display/Printer
|
1. |
Draw Arc (Starting/Ending Angles) |
'ARC'(x,y,radius,aspect,angle_1,angle_2) |
|
2. |
Draw Arc (Radial Coordinates) |
'ARC'(x,y,radius,aspect,startRadialX,startRadialY,endRadialX,endRadialY) |
|
angle_1 |
Angle (in degrees) measured counter clockwise from the right-center (3 o'clock) position of the arc circle to the starting point of the arc. Numeric expression. |
|
angle_2 |
Angle (in degrees) measured counter clockwise from the right-center (3 o'clock) position of the arc circle to the ending point of the arc. Numeric expression. |
|
aspect |
Aspect ratio/viewpoint. (Ratio=1 results in no tilt.) Numeric expression. |
|
startRadialX |
Coordinates along a line that extends from the center of the drawing, in graphical units. The point where this line intersects with the arc circle defines the start of the arc. Numeric expression. |
|
endRadialX |
Coordinates along a line that extends from the center of the drawing, in graphical units. The point where this line intersects with the arc circle defines the end of the arc. Numeric expression. |
|
radius |
Radius of the arc circle, in graphical units. Numeric expression. |
|
x,y |
Coordinates for the center of the drawing, in graphical units. Numeric expression. |
(Support for the Radial Coordinates format was added in PxPlus 2020.)
Use 'ARC' to draw (print) an arc on the device. Use graphical units or @X(col) / @Y(line) functions for x,y and radius.
When drawing the arc, it can extend in either of two ways:
The 'ARC' mnemonic uses the current attributes for 'PEN' mnemonic.
For PDFs and Windows graphical drawing, entering a ratio=0 means no ratio. A ratio < 0 is invalid and results in an Error 29: Invalid Mnemonic or position specification.
@X(col) / @Y(line) Convert X/Y Coordinates
'PEN' Define Pen Style
The examples below draw two different colored arcs. Aspect ratio=3 tilts the resulting drawing into an elliptical "shape". (Since this ellipsis is really two arcs as opposed to an enclosed shape, 'FILL' mnemonic attributes do not apply.)
Aspect ratio=1 joins the arcs in a circular shape instead.
