de_add_arc4()

Adds an arc using user-defined units.

• To create an arc using simulator units, use the de_draw_arc4() function.
• To create an arc embedded in a polygon or polyline, use the de_add_arc() function.

Returns a handle to the data group shape that was just created.

See also: de_draw_arc4(), de_add_arc().

Syntax:

de_add_arc4(x1, y1, x2, y2, chordLength, direction);

where

x1, y1 is the start point of the arc.

x2, y2 is the center point of the arc.

direction is the direction of arc, where:

• 1 = clockwise
• 0 = counter clockwise

chordLength is the arc angle expressed in terms of circumference.

Example:

// A 180 degree clockwise standalone arc
de_add_arc4 (0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 50.0, 157.08, 1);
// A 180 degree counter clockwise standalone arc
de_add_arc4 (200.0, 0.0, 200.0, 50.0, 157.08, 0);
// A 180 degree counterclockwise standalone arc and save data group
decl dgHangle = de_add_arc4 (200.0, 0.0, 200.0, 50.0, 157.08, 0);
