PgDrawEllipse(), PgDrawEllipseCx()

Draw an ellipse

Synopsis:

int PgDrawEllipse( PhPoint_t const *center,
                   PhPoint_t const *radii,
                   unsigned int flags );

int PgDrawEllipseCx( void *dc,
                     PhPoint_t const *center,
                     PhPoint_t const *radii,
                     unsigned int flags );

Arguments:

dc

PgDrawEllipseCx() only. A void pointer to any type of draw context. Examples of draw contexts are:

• a PhDrawContext_t returned by PhDCCreate()
• a PmMemoryContext_t returned by PmMemCreateMC()
• a PpPrintContext_t returned by PpCreatePC()
• a PdOffscreenContext_t returned by PdCreateOffscreenContext()

center

Defines the ellipse's center.

radii

Defines the ellipse's x and y radii.

flags

Must be one of the following:

• Pg_DRAW_STROKE — draw as a line.
• Pg_DRAW_FILL — fill the ellipse.
• Pg_DRAW_FILL_STROKE — fill the ellipse, then stroke it.

To have the function interpret the center and radii arguments as the upper-left and lower-right coordinates respectively, OR flags with Pg_EXTENT_BASED.

Library:

ph

Description:

These functions build a command in the draw buffer to draw an ellipse. PgDrawEllipse() works on the current draw context, while you can specify the draw context for PgDrawEllipseCx().

Returns:

0

Success.

-1

The draw buffer is too small to hold the current draw state and the draw command.

Examples:

The following example:

DrawStrokeElli() {
    PhPoint_t   c = { 80, 60 };
    PhPoint_t   r = { 72, 52 };

    PgSetStrokeColor( Pg_WHITE );
    PgDrawEllipse( &c, &r, Pg_DRAW_STROKE );
}

will draw:

The following example:

DrawFillElli() {
    PhPoint_t   c = { 80, 60 };
    PhPoint_t   r = { 72, 52 };

    PgSetFillColor( Pg_PURPLE );
    PgDrawEllipse( &c, &r, Pg_DRAW_FILL );
}

will draw:

The following example:

DrawFillStrokeElli() {
    PhPoint_t   c = { 80, 60 };
    PhPoint_t   r = { 72, 52 };

    PgSetFillColor( Pg_PURPLE );
    PgSetStrokeColor( Pg_WHITE );

    PgDrawEllipse( &c, &r, Pg_DRAW_FILL_STROKE );
}

will draw:
