DrawPie Method (GdPicturePDF)

In This Topic

Draws a pie shape, means a sector of a circle, on the currently selected page of the loaded PDF document according to what you have specified. The center point of the pie's circle and the circle's radius need to be set in the current units defined in the PDF document with respect to the currently located origin, related to the actual page. The pie shape (sector) of the circle's area is clearly defined by the StartAngle and the EndAngle parameters.

You can simply use the GdPicturePDF.GetMeasurementUnit method to determine the currently defined units and you can easily use the GdPicturePDF.SetMeasurementUnit method to reset the units according to your preference.

    Radius: Single;

public: GdPictureStatus DrawPie( 
   float Left,
   float Top,
   float Radius,
   float StartAngle,
   float EndAngle,
   bool Fill,
   bool Stroke
)

public:
GdPictureStatus DrawPie( 
   float Left,
   float Top,
   float Radius,
   float StartAngle,
   float EndAngle,
   bool Fill,
   bool Stroke
)

Parameters

Left: The horizontal (X) coordinate of the center of the pie's circle, expressed in the current units specified by the SetMeasurementUnit method with respect to the defined origin, related to the currently selected page.
Top: The vertical (Y) coordinate of the center of the pie's circle, expressed in the current units specified by the SetMeasurementUnit method with respect to the defined origin, related to the currently selected page.
Radius: The required radius of the circle, of which the pie shaped portion is a part, expressed in the current units specified by the SetMeasurementUnit method.
StartAngle: The starting angle, in degrees, where 0 means the 12 o'clock position. Positive values represent angles drawn in the clockwise direction, negative ones in the opposite direction.
EndAngle: The ending angle, in degrees, where 0 means the 12 o'clock position. Positive values represent angles drawn in the clockwise direction, negative ones in the opposite direction.
Fill: Set this parameter to true, if you want to fill the pie using the currently defined fill color, otherwise set it to false. You can set the fill color using the GdPicturePDF.SetFillColor method.
Stroke: Set this parameter to true, if you want to stroke the pie (draw a boundary line along the pie shape) using the currently defined line color, otherwise set it to false. You can set the line color using the GdPicturePDF.SetLineColor method.

Return Value

A member of the GdPictureStatus enumeration. If the method has been successfully followed, then the return value is GdPictureStatus.OK.

We strongly recommend always checking this status first.

Remarks

This method is only allowed for use with non-encrypted documents.

Just to remind you that angles are measured clockwise using this method.

Example

How to draw stroked and filled pies. The example shows you reasonable combinations of the Fill and the Stroke parameters.
