_GDIPlus_GraphicsDrawArc

Draw an arc

#include <GDIPlus.au3>
_GDIPlus_GraphicsDrawArc ( $hGraphics, $nX, $nY, $nWidth, $nHeight, $fStartAngle, $fSweepAngle [, $hPen = 0] )

Parameters

$hGraphics Handle to a Graphics object
$nX The X coordinate of the upper left corner of the rectangle that bounds the ellipse in which to draw the arc
$nY The Y coordinate of the upper left corner of the rectangle that bounds the ellipse in which to draw the arc
$nWidth The width of the rectangle that bounds the ellipse in which to draw the arc
$nHeight The height of the rectangle that bounds the ellipse in which to draw the arc
$fStartAngle The angle between the X axis and the starting point of the arc
$fSweepAngle The angle between the starting and ending points of the arc
$hPen [optional] Handle to a pen object that is used to draw the arc. If 0, a solid black pen with a width of 1 will be used.

Return Value

Success: True.
Failure: False and sets the @error flag to non-zero, @extended may contain GPSTATUS error code ($GPIP_ERR* see GPIPlusConstants.au3).
