PS_ARCN(3)

✨ PS_ARCN(3) ✨

okay bestie, welcome to the PS_ARCN(3) page from the Library Functions Manual 💖 this one is short, sweet, and honestly kinda iconic — it's all about drawing arcs the clockwise way 🌀

🌸 NAME 🌸

PS_arcn — draws an arc clockwise 🕐💫

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

#include <pslib.h>

void PS_arcn(PSDoc *psdoc, float x, float y, float radius, float alpha,
float beta)

like look at that signature, it's giving "I know exactly what I'm doing" 💅

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

So here's the tea 🍓: this function draws a portion of a circle, and the middle point of that circle sits at (x, y) — that's your center, your main character location 👑

The arc starts at an angle of alpha and ends at an angle of beta. And here's the thing you literally cannot forget — it's drawn clockwise 🔄 no cap.

Now the sneaky lil detail that lowkey matters: the subpath that gets added to the current path starts on the arc at angle beta and ends on the arc at angle alpha. Yeah bestie, they're flipped from how you'd expect 😭 so it starts at beta and ends at alpha. Write that down. Tattoo it. Whatever works 🫶
