pdf_arcn

Name

pdf_arcn — Draws an arc

Synopsis

bool pdf_arcn(pdf, x, y, radius, start, end); resource pdf: PDF object identifier double x: Starting x coordinate double y: Starting y coordinate double radius: Radius double start: Start angle double end: End angle

Returns

Always TRUE

Description

Draws an arc with the curve origin (0 degrees) starting at x , y . The arcs curves up and to the left from the origin point in an anticlockwise direction. Some trial and error may be required to understand how the arc behaves when not using start and and end angles which are not 0 degrees. Don't forget to use pdf_stroke() to stroke the object.

In the example below, compare the output with that from pdf_arc() .

Version

Since version 4.0.5

Example

Example 913. Draw two arcs

<?php

// create a new document
$pdf = pdf_new();
pdf_open_file($pdf);
pdf_begin_page($pdf, 500, 700);

// draw arc from 90 to 180 degrees
pdf_arcn($pdf, 200, 350, 50, 90, 180);
pdf_stroke($pdf);

$font = pdf_findfont($pdf, "Courier", "host", 0);
pdf_setfont($pdf, $font, 20);
pdf_show_xy($pdf, "Hello World", 200, 350);

// draw second arc from 270 to 0 degrees
pdf_arcn($pdf, 330, 350, 50, 270, 0);
pdf_stroke($pdf);

pdf_end_page($pdf);
pdf_close($pdf);

// display the PDF document
$data = pdf_get_buffer($pdf);
header("Content-type: application/pdf");
header("Content-disposition: inline; filename=test.pdf");
header("Content-length: " . strlen($data));
echo $data;
?>
