return-code-variable =GDRAW('ELLARC', x, y, major, minor, start, end, angle);

The GDRAW('ELLARC', . . . ) function draws a hollow section of an ellipse. The line attributes and bundles affect the appearance of this primitive. See DATA Step Graphics Interface Routines for a list of these attributes. Arguments Used with GDRAW('ELLARC',...) function and GDRAW('ELLIPSE',...) function illustrates the arguments used with GDRAW('ELLARC', . . . ) and GDRAW('ELLIPSE', . . . ).

[Arguments Used wtih GDRAW('ELLARC',...) function and GDRAW('ELLIPSE',...) function]

x	numeric constant or numeric variable name; x coordinates are in units based on the current window system.
y	numeric constant or numeric variable name; y coordinates are in units based on the current window system.
major	numeric constant or numeric variable name; the major axis lengths for the elliptical arc.
minor	numeric constant or numeric variable name; the minor axis lengths for the elliptical arc.
start	numeric constant or numeric variable name; the starting angle from the major axis, in degrees, for the elliptical arc with 0 degrees beginning at the major axis.
end	numeric constant or numeric variable name; the ending angle from the major axis, in degrees, for the elliptical arc with 0 degrees at 3 o'clock.
angle	numeric constant or numeric variable name; the angle that the major axis of the elliptical arc has to 0 degrees (with 0 degrees at 3 o'clock).
