In the C programming language, there is an option to create an arc of a circle of a given radius with a given center coordinates and degree of the arc.
The arc() function is used to create an arc. This arc function is included in graphics.h library in C which contains methods that can draw figures on the output screen.
Syntax
void arc(int x, int y, int startangle, int endangle, int radius);
Now, let's get deep into the function and understand each parameter passed and output returned by the function.
Parameters
x − type = int, function: defines the x coordinate of the center of the arc.
y − type = int, function: defines the y coordinate of the center of the arc.
start angle − type = int, function: defines the starting angle of arc.
entangle − type = int, function: defines the ending angle of arc.
Radius − type = int, function: defines the radius of the arc.
Example
#include <graphics.h> int main(){ int gd = DETECT, gm; int x = 250; int y = 250; int start_angle = 155; int end_angle = 300; int radius = 100; initgraph(&gd, &gm, ""); arc(x, y, start_angle, end_angle, radius); getch(); closegraph(); return 0; }
