💖 PLARC 💖

Okay bestie, welcome to the PLARC page — that's plarc from the PLplot API manual, and she is literally the arc-drawing queen of the whole library. Sit down, grab a strawberry 🍓, and let's get into it.

✨ NAME ✨

plarc — draws a circular or elliptical arc. That's it, that's the whole vibe. 🎀

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

plarc(x, y, a, b, angle1, angle2, rotate, fill)

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

So here's the tea, bestie: plarc draws a possibly filled arc centered at x, y with semimajor axis a and semiminor axis b, starting at angle1 and ending at angle2. Iconic behavior, no notes. 💅

Redacted form: General: plarc(x, y, a, b, angle1, angle2, rotate, fill)

This function is used in examples 3 and 27 — so if you wanna see her in her main character era, go peek at those. 👑

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

  • x (PLFLT(3plplot), input) — X coordinate of arc center. Where the whole thing lives horizontally, fr fr.
  • y (PLFLT(3plplot), input) — Y coordinate of arc center. The vertical address. 📍
  • a (PLFLT(3plplot), input) — length of the semimajor axis of the arc. The long one, the moment, the star. ⭐
  • b (PLFLT(3plplot), input) — length of the semiminor axis of the arc. The short one, still eating. 🍽️
  • angle1 (PLFLT(3plplot), input) — starting angle of the arc relative to the semimajor axis. Where she begins. 🌅
  • angle2 (PLFLT(3plplot), input) — ending angle of the arc relative to the semimajor axis. Where she dips. 🌇
  • rotate (PLFLT(3plplot), input) — angle of the semimajor axis relative to the X-axis. Her little tilt, her whole aesthetic. 💫
  • fill (PLBOOL(3plplot), input) — draw a filled arc. Set it and she's solid, she's got substance, she's filled in. 🫶
Ngl, every single arg is input, so you're handing her the whole blueprint and she's drawing it exactly like you asked. No cap. 😭
