Arc function

In unit LCLIntf

Draws an elliptical curve.

Declaration

pascal

function Arc(DC: HDC; Left: Integer; Top: Integer; Right: Integer; 
 Bottom: Integer; Angle16Deg: Integer; 
 Angle16DegLength: Integer): Boolean

Arguments

`DC`
`Left`
`Top`
`Right`
`Bottom`
`Angle16Deg`	The starting angle in 1/16 degrees, starting right and continuing counter-clockwise.
`Angle16DegLength`	The length of the arc. A positive value indicates that it goes counter-clockwise from the start angle and a negative value that it goes clockwise.

Description

Use Arc to draw an elliptically curved line with the current Pen.

The angles Angle16Deg and Angle16DegLength are measure in 1/16th of a degree. For example, a full circle equals 5760 (16*360). Positive values of Angle16Deg and Angle16DegLength mean counter-clockwise rotation while negative values mean a clockwise direction, from the point of view of who looks at the screen.

Zero degrees is at the 3 o'clock position (right).
