tag?: tag,
): Sketch
Arguments
| Name | Type | Description | Required |
|---|---|---|---|
sketch | Sketch | Which sketch should this path be added to? | Yes |
center | Point2d | The center of the ellipse. | Yes |
angleStart | number(Angle) | Where along the ellptic should this segment start? | Yes |
angleEnd | number(Angle) | Where along the ellptic should this segment end? | Yes |
majorRadius | number(Length) | The major radius, a, of the elliptic equation x^2 / a^2 + y^2 / b^2 = 1. | Yes |
minorRadius | number(Length) | The minor radius, b, of the elliptic equation x^2 / a^2 + y^2 / b^2 = 1. | Yes |
tag | tag | Create a new tag which refers to this arc. | No |
Returns
Sketch - A sketch is a collection of paths.
