DrawPiePath

(Engine-Level Function)

Deprecated. Do not use in new code.

Description:	Draws a pie in any window.
Returns:	Nothing
Usage:	Steady State only.
Function Groups:	Graphics
Related to:	DrawArcPath | DrawChordPath | DrawPath | DrawPiePath
Format:	DrawPiePath(Left, Bottom, Right, Top, RotateAngle, Object, StartX, StartY, EndX, EndY)
Parameters:

Left

Required. Any numeric expression for the left side of the bounding box.

Bottom

Required. Any numeric expression for the bottom side of the bounding box.

Right

Required. Any numeric expression for the right side of the bounding box.

Top

Required. Any numeric expression for the top side of the bounding box.

RotateAngle

Required. Any numeric expression for the angle of rotation of the pie, in degrees. This represents a rotation about the center of the bounding box. If it is greater than 0, the pie's shape will still be defined by the proportions of the bounding box, but will no longer be within its (un-rotated) screen coordinates. Note that although the pie itself will rotate RotateAngle degrees, neither of the endpoints for the lines defined by StartX, StartY and EndX, EndY will be affected (i.e. the pie will not 'line up' with the angled lines).

Object

Required. Any expression for the object value that defines the window.

StartX

Required. Any numeric expression for the X coordinate of an endpoint of a line that defines the starting angle. The other endpoint is the center of the bounding box.

StartY

Required. Any numeric expression for the Y coordinate of an endpoint of a line that defines the starting angle. The other endpoint is the center of the bounding box.

EndX

Required. Any numeric expression for the X coordinate of an endpoint of a line that defines the ending angle. The other endpoint is the center of the bounding box.

EndY

Required. Any numeric expression for the Y coordinate of an endpoint of a line that defines the ending angle. The other endpoint is the center of the bounding box.

Comments:

This statement is intended for building drawing tools. The pie is drawn in white and is exclusive OR'ed onto the screen.

Example:

  DrawPiePath(10, 325, 430, 75
             { Bounding box for the pie }, 
              90 { Rotate 90 deg. counter-clockwise }, 
              Self() { Draw in this module's window },
              550, 470 { One line of angle }, 
              750, 300 { Other line of angle }); 

This draws a wedge of pie on the left side of the screen, point upward.
