draw.arc: Draw arc

Description

Draw one or more arcs using classic graphics.

Usage

draw.arc(x=1,y=NULL,radius=1,angle1=deg1*pi/180,angle2=deg2*pi/180, 
  deg1=0,deg2=45,n=35,col=1,...)

Arguments

x

x coordinate of center. Scalar or vector.

y

y coordinate of center. Scalar or vector.

radius

radius. Scalar or vector.

angle1

Starting angle in radians. Scalar or vector.

angle2

Ending angle in radians. Scalar or vector.

deg1

Starting angle in degrees. Scalar or vector.

deg2

Ending angle in degrees. Scalar or vector.

n

Number of polygons to use to approximate the arc.

col

Arc colors.

...

Other arguments passed to segments. Vectorization is not supported for these.

Value

• Returns a matrix of expanded arguments invisibly.

Details

Draws one or more arcs from angle1 to angle2. If angle1 is numerically greater than angle2, then the angles are swapped.

Examples

plot(1:10, asp = 1,main="Test draw.arc")
draw.arc(5, 5, 1:10/10, deg2 = 1:10*10, col = "blue")
draw.arc(8, 8, 1:10/10, deg2 = 1:10*10, col = 1:10)
