Parameters

x  Single

The x-coordinate of the upper-left corner of the bounding rectangle that defines the ellipse from which the arc is drawn.

y  Single

The y-coordinate of the upper-left corner of the bounding rectangle that defines the ellipse from which the arc is drawn.

width  Single

The width of the bounding rectangle that defines the ellipse from which the arc is drawn.

height  Single

The height of the bounding rectangle that defines the ellipse from which the arc is drawn.

startAngle  Single

The starting angle of the arc, measured in degrees clockwise from the x-axis.

sweepAngle  Single

The sweep angle of the arc, measured in degrees clockwise from startAngle. If its absolute value is greater than or equal to 360, a complete ellipse is added to the path.

Return Value

If the current figure is not empty or closed, the first point of the added arc will be connected to the last point of the figure.

When the absolute value of sweepAngle is greater than or equal to 360, a complete ellipse is added to the path, and the start/end points of the arc will be identical, as if sweepAngle was exactly 360. This matters when the ellipse is connected with other path segments.

The coordinates of the specified bounding rectangle are not validated here, but in the moment of drawing the coordinates of the possibly transformed path points must fall into the bounds of an int value; otherwise, an OverflowException will be thrown.
