Name  

arc()

   
Examples   
arc(50, 55, 50, 50, 0, PI/2); 
noFill(); 
arc(50, 55, 60, 60, PI/2, PI); 
arc(50, 55, 70, 70, PI, TWO_PI-PI/2); 
arc(50, 55, 80, 80, TWO_PI-PI/2, TWO_PI);
Description   Draws an arc in the display window. Arcs are drawn along the outer edge of an ellipse defined by the x, y, width and height parameters. The origin or the arc's ellipse may be changed with the ellipseMode() function. The start and stop parameters specify the angles at which to draw the arc. These angles are specified in terms of radians by default, but by degrees if angleMode(DEGREES) has been called.
   
Syntax   
ellipse(x, y, width, height, start, stop)
   
Parameters  
x   int or float: x-coordinate of the arc's ellipse
y   int or float: y-coordinate of the arc's ellipse
width   int or float: width of the arc's ellipse
height   int or float: height of the arc's ellipse
start   int or float: angle to start the arc, specified in radians or degrees depending on the current angle mode
stop   int or float: angle to stop the arc, specified in radians or degrees depending on the current angle mode
   
Returns   None
