Show/Hide arc_dim_aa Attributes PIL has a separate arc method with the following properties. * xy Four points to define the bounding box. Sequence of [(x0, y0), (x1, y1)] or [x0, y0, x1, y1]. * start Starting angle, in degrees * end Ending angle, in degrees. * fill Arc colour The arc dimension requires the following additional attributes. * im PIL image handle, link to the calling program * dr PIL drawing handle, link to the calling program * centre Arc's circle centre * radius Arc's circle radius * begin Starting angle, in degrees * end Ending angle, in degrees. * fill Arc colour, RGB tuple * text Text to be written next to the dimension * font Font of the text * arrowhead Three integer tuple describing the shape and size of the arrow * back background colour, RGB tuple .. raw:: html
| Create Arc AA Dimension -------------------------- The arcs used for dimensions are based on circles rather than ellipses, so use the arc centre, its radius and the start and end angles, rather than the box surrounding the circle containing the arc. The arc dimension shows the angle directly, so no extenders are required, add the text straightaway. Use the PIL image reference, centre, radius, begin and end angles, followed by the text and its font and finally the arrow shape. Once we have extracted the values from the tuples, calculate the coordinates of the start and end positions. Whether the arrows need to be inward or outward pointing depends on the arc size and is made automatically. Lastly position the text according to the text and arc sizes. Add a conditional statement to draw a right angle square lines for 90° instead of an arc. If the angle becomes a straight line raise an error. The utility function polar2cart from :ref:`DimLinesPIL` is particularly useful. .. container:: toggle .. container:: header *Show/Hide Code* test_angle_aa_dim.py .. literalinclude:: ../examples/aadims/test_arc_aa_dim.py
