Wand path_elliptic_arc() function in Python
path_elliptic_arc() is a function specially introduced for paths. path_elliptic_arc() draws an elliptical arc from current point to a particular point we want the arc to drawn to.
Let’s see parameters needed for this function.
Syntax :
wand.drawing.path_elliptic_arc(to, radius, rotation, large_arc, clockwise, relative)Parameters:
Parameter Input Type Description to sequence or (numbers.Real, numbers.Real) pair which represents coordinates to draw to. radius collections.abc.sequence or (numbers.Real, numbers.Real) pair which represents the radii of the ellipse to draw. rotate bool degree to rotate ellipse on x-axis. large_arc bool draw largest available arc. clockwise bool draw arc path clockwise from start to target. relative bool treat given coordinates as relative to current point.
Example : Draw an elliptical curve.
Python3
from wand.image import Imagefrom wand.drawing import Drawingfrom wand.color import Colorwith Drawing() as draw: draw.stroke_width = 2 draw.stroke_color = Color('black') draw.fill_color = Color('white') draw.path_start() # Start middle-left draw.path_move(to =(10, 100)) # draw elliptical curve draw.path_elliptic_arc(to =(10, 180), radius = (20, 40), rotation = 270, large_arc = True, clockwise = True, relative = True ) with Image(width = 200, height = 200, background = Color('lightgreen')) as image: draw(image) image.save(filename ="pathcurve.png") |
