<Image variable>.DrawSlice (Function)
In french: <Variable Image>.DessinePortion
Draws a circle or an ellipse section in an Image control.
Example
// Draw a circle section whose
// background is light yellow and whose border is light blue
IMG_Drawing.DrawSlice(10, 10, 50, 50, 20, 20, 40, 50, LightYellow, LightBlue)
Syntax
<Image variable>.DrawSlice(<X1> , <Y1> , <X2> , <Y2> , <X3> , <Y3> , <X4> , <Y4> [, <Background color> [, <Line color>]])
<Image variable>: Image variable
Name of the Image control to be used.
<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:
• corresponds to the color specified in the last call to <Image>.Pen,
• is the same as the background color if <Image>.Pen has not been used.
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 control (coordinates: (0,0)).
The drawing sections are drawn anticlockwise.

Non-solid figure

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

Drawing with opacity or anti-aliasing

For a drawing with opacity (<Image>.StartDrawing with the dWithOpacity constant) or anti-aliasing (<Image>.ChangeMode with the drawAntiAliasing constant), the outline is drawn inside the section: therefore, the line is partly combined with the inside of the section. If the line is very thick, it will be displayed in two colors.
