💖 al_draw_elliptical_arc 💖

okay so bestie, we're in the Allegro 5 API section of the Allegro reference manual (that's the 3alleg5 corner of the library, iykyk), and today's main character is al_draw_elliptical_arc. it draws a lil arc. an elliptical one. it ate, honestly. 🎀

✨ NAME ✨

al_draw_elliptical_arc — the Allegro 5 API function that draws an elliptical arc 💅

---

🌈 SYNOPSIS 🌈

#include <allegro5/allegro_primitives.h>

void al_draw_elliptical_arc(float cx, float cy, float rx, float ry, float start_theta,
   float delta_theta, ALLEGRO_COLOR color, float thickness)

---

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

Draws an elliptical arc. that's it, that's the vibe. but let's get into the deets because the parameters are where the plot is:

Parameters:

• cx, cy — Center of the arc 🎯
• rx, ry — Radii of the arc 📏
• color — Color of the arc 🎨
• start_theta — The initial angle from which the arc is calculated in radians 📐
• delta_theta — Angular span of the arc in radians (pass a negative number to switch direction) 🔄
• thickness — Thickness of the arc, pass <= 0 to draw hairline arc ✨

not me obsessed with delta_theta going negative and flipping the whole direction like a plot twist 😭

⭐ SINCE ⭐

5.0.6, 5.1.0 — so she's been iconic for a minute 👑
