Draws a section of a circle or an ellipse in a variable of type WDPic (on the background layer).
Example
MonImageWDPic is WDPic = "Test.gif"
// Dessin d'une portion de cercle dont le
// fond est jaune clair et le bord bleu clair
MonImageWDPic.DrawSlice(10, 10, 50, 50, 20, 20, 40, 50, LightYellow, LightBlue)
IMG_MonDessin = MonImageWDPic
Syntax

Drawing a sector of a circle, specifying all the coordinates of the rectangle containing the circle Hide the details

<WDPic image>.DrawSlice(<X1> , <Y1> , <X2> , <Y2> , <X3> , <Y3> , <X4> , <Y4> [, <Background color> [, <Line color>]])
<WDPic image>: WDPic variable
Name of the WDPic variable to be used. Only the background layer will be handled.
<X1>: Integer
X-coordinate of the upper-left corner of the rectangle containing the circle. These coordinates are expressed in pixels.
<Y1>: Integer
Y-coordinate of the upper-left corner of the rectangle containing the circle. These coordinates are expressed in pixels.
<X2>: Integer
X-coordinate of the lower-right corner of the rectangle containing the circle. These coordinates are expressed in pixels.
<Y2>: Integer
Y-coordinate of the lower-right corner of the rectangle containing the circle. These coordinates are expressed in pixels.
<X3>: Integer
X-coordinate of the start point of the circle section. These coordinates are expressed in pixels.
<Y3>: Integer
Y-coordinate of the start point of the circle section. These coordinates are expressed in pixels.
<X4>: Integer
X-coordinate of the end point of the circle section. These coordinates are expressed in pixels.
<Y4>: Integer
Y-coordinate of the end point of the circle section. These coordinates are expressed in pixels.
<Background color>: Integer or constant (optional)
Background color of the circle section. This color can correspond to:
If this parameter is not specified, the background color:
<Line color>: Integer or constant (optional)
Color of the line for the circle section. This color can correspond to:
If this parameter is not specified, the line color:

Remarks

Coordinates

If the start point and the end point are not located on the border of the circle (or on the border of the ellipse), the point taken into account corresponds to the intersection between the circle and the line that joins the specified point and the center of the rectangle (which means the center of the circle).
Coordinates are specified with respect to the upper-left corner of the image (coordinates: (0.0)).
The drawing sections are drawn counterclockwise.

Non-solid figure

To draw a non-solid figure (without taking into account the center of the circle), use <WDPic variable>.DrawChord.

Drawing with opacity or anti-aliasing

In the case of drawing with opacity (function <WDPic variable>.StartDrawing with constant dWithOpacity) or anti-aliasing (function <WDPic variable>.ChangeMode with constant drawingAntiAliasing), the outline is drawn over the inside of the portion: the line is therefore partly combined with the inside of the portion. If the line is very thick, it will be displayed in two colors.
