Chord (Statement)​

Format​

chord x_position, y_position, width, height, start_angle, width_angle
chord ( x_position, y_position, width, height, start_angle, width_angle )
chord center_x_position, center_y_position, radius, start_angle, width_angle
chord ( center_x_position, center_y_position, radius, start_angle, width_angle )

Description​

Draws an area bounded by an arc and chord (segment) of the circle or ellipse inside the rectangle defined by a bounding rectangle (defined by x_position, y_position, width, and height) or by a square bounding a circle (defined by center_x_position, center_y_position, radius). The angles are defined from the 12 o’clock position in a clockwise direction in radians.

As seen in the example below a chord may be used to draw a filled circle or an ellipse by defining the angular width to go all the way around (2*pi).
