Pie

Deprecated. Do not use in new code.

(Engine-Level Function)

Description	Draws a pie shaped wedge on the screen.
Returns	Nothing
Usage	Steady State only.
Function Groups	Graphics
Related to:	Arc | Ball | Circle | Ellipse | GUIArc | GUIChord | GUIEllipse | GUIPie
Format:	Pie(X, Y, Radius, Angle1, Angle2, Foreground, Pattern, Background)
Parameters

X

Required. Any numeric expression giving the X coordinate of the center of the pie on the screen.

Y

Required. Any numeric expression giving the Y coordinate of the center of the pie on the screen.

Radius

Required. Any numeric expression giving the radius of the pie specified in units of X screen coordinates.

Angle1

Required. Any numeric expression giving the starting angle of the pie in radians. An angle of 0 lies on the X axis to the right of the center of the pie.

Angle2

Required. Any numeric expression giving the ending angle of the pie in radians.

Foreground

Required. Any numeric expression giving the color index for the foreground color of the pie fill pattern.

Pattern

Required. Any numeric expression giving the hatch Fill Patterns to use for the fill. The valid hatch style numbers are from 1 to 25 inclusive.

Background

Required. Any numeric expression giving the background color for the hatch pattern. This value is only significant if the Pattern parameter is not equal to 1.

Comments

This statement has been superseded by the GUIPie function and is maintained for backwards compatibility only. The pie is drawn in a counterclockwise direction from the Angle1 to Angle2. As of version 11, this is now drawn in the same z-order as other graphics, making it similar to the z-graphics functions.

Example:

Pie(100,200 { X-Y coordinates for the center of the pie },
    200 { Radius in pixels },
    0 { Start angle (3 o'clock position) },
    3.14 { Draw counterclockwise for 180 degrees },
    10, 1, 0 { Light green solid (background ignored });

This draws the top half of a light green circle.
