Processing: arc: Draw an arc

‘arc’ function is used to draw an arc on the screen.

Syntax

arc(xCoordinate, yCoordinate, width, height, angleToStartTheArc, angleToStopTheArc)

arc(xCoordinate, yCoordinate, width, height, angleToStartTheArc, angleToStopTheArc, mode)

Below table summarize the parameters of arc function.

Parameter	Data Type	Description
xCoordinate	float	X-Coordinate of the arc’s ellipse
yCoordinate	float	Y-Coordinate of the arc’s ellipse
width	float	Width of the arc’s ellipse
height	float	Height of the arc ellipse
angleToStartTheArc	float	Angle to start the arc. It is specified in radians.
angleToStopTheArc	float	Angle to stop the arc. It is specified in radians.
mode	float	Specify the rendering technique, it can be PIE, OPEN, and CHORD. PIE is the default value.

Return type of the method arc is void.
