Arc statement
The Arc statement describes an arc. It can appear anywhere at the top level, or in a Frame or Page statement.
Syntax
Usage
The arc is a segment of an ellipse whose bounding rectangle is defined in ArcRect. ArcTheta specifies the starting
point of the arc in degrees. Zero corresponds to twelve o’clock, 90 to three o’clock, 180 to six o’clock, and 270 to nine
o’clock.
ArcDTheta corresponds to the length of the arc. Positive and negative values correspond to clockwise and
counterclockwise extents.
ArrowStyle statement
The ArrowStyle statement defines both the head cap (at the starting point) and the tail cap (at the ending point) of
lines and arcs.
The arrow style property statements can appear in any order in an
ArrowStyle statement. For a complete
description of arrow style properties, see your user’s manual.
