Sorry for flooding the forum today.
I am just wondering about the dc.drawArc function.
Why does this code ...
dc.drawArc( dc.getWidth() / 2,
dc.getHeight() / 2,
dc.getWidth() * 0,49,
Graphics.ARC_CLOCKWISE,
23,
37 );
... produce this result? Clockwise 23° to 37° should be the part that's left out? If I change it to ARC_COUNTER_CLOCKWISE it gives me the result I'd expect for ARC_CLOCKWISE.
It kind of seems 0° is at the 3 o'clock position, and the degrees are then counted counter-clockwise?
indeed. that's how we learned in math class. The 0 is at 12'o clock thing is only for navigation (kind of)
Yes, sorry for a) not reading the documentation carefully enough and b) skipping those math classes. ;-)
Yeah to be fair it's documented
And to be fair, like flocsy said, that's the standard mathematical definition:
