Description

DrawPathEllipticArcAbsolute() draws an elliptical arc from the current point to (x, y) using absolute coordinates. The size and orientation of the ellipse are defined by two radii (rx, ry) and an xAxisRotation, which indicates how the ellipse as a whole is rotated relative to the current coordinate system. The center (cx, cy) of the ellipse is calculated automatically to satisfy the constraints imposed by the other parameters. largeArcFlag and sweepFlag contribute to the automatic calculations and help determine how the arc is drawn. If largeArcFlag is true then draw the larger of the available arcs. If sweepFlag is true, then draw the arc matching a clock-wise rotation.

The format of the DrawPathEllipticArcAbsolute method is:

void DrawPathEllipticArcAbsolute( DrawContext context, const double rx, const double ry,
                                  const double x_axis_rotation,

The format of the DrawTranslate method is:

void DrawTranslate( DrawContext context, const double x, const double y );

context:

drawing context

x:

new x ordinate for coordinate system origin

y:

new y ordinate for coordinate system origin

Synopsis

void DrawSetViewbox( DrawContext context, unsigned long x1, unsigned long y1,
                     unsigned long x2, unsigned long y2 );

Description

DrawSetViewbox() sets the overall canvas size to be recorded with the drawing vector data. Usually this will be specified using the same size as the canvas image. When the vector data is saved to SVG or MVG formats, the viewbox is use to specify the size of the canvas image that a viewer will render the vector data on.

The format of the DrawSetViewbox method is:

void DrawSetViewbox( DrawContext context, unsigned long x1, unsigned long y1,
                     unsigned long x2, unsigned long y2 );

context:

drawing context

x1:

left x ordinate

y1:

top y ordinate

x2:

right x ordinate

y2:

bottom y ordinate
