Examples |
    arc(50, 55, 50, 50, 0, PI/2);
    noFill();
    arc(50, 55, 60, 60, PI/2, PI);
    arc(50, 55, 70, 70, PI, TWO_PI-PI/2);
    arc(50, 55, 80, 80, TWO_PI-PI/2, TWO_PI);
Description | Draws an arc in the display window. Arcs are drawn along the outer edge of an ellipse defined by the x, y, width and height parameters. The origin or the arc's ellipse may be changed with the ellipseMode() function. The start and stop parameters specify the angles at which to draw the arc.
