The problem came in with the interpreation
DELPHI The arc traverses the perimeter of an ellipse that is bounded by the
points (X1,Y1) and (X2,Y2). The arc is drawn following the perimeter of the
ellipse, counterclockwise, from the starting point to the ending point.
Is the arc or the ellipse bounded by (X1Y1) (X2Y2)?
It is actually the ellipse.
The solution is quite simple. (With the help of Jolyon - Thanks )
xCtr:=DM.tblOperX1.AsFloat;
yCtr:=DM.tblOperY1.AsFloat;
if (dm.tblOper['CW']=False) then begin
xStart:=DM.tblOperX2.AsFloat;
yStart:=DM.tblOperY2.AsFloat;
xEnd:=DM.tblOperX3.AsFloat;
yEnd:=DM.tblOperY3.AsFloat;
end
else begin
xStart:=DM.tblOperX3.AsFloat; //Swop start and end
yStart:=DM.tblOperY3.AsFloat;
xEnd:=DM.tblOperX2.AsFloat;
yEnd:=DM.tblOperY2.AsFloat;
end;
rad:=sqrt(sqr(xStart-xCtr)+sqr(yStart-yCtr));
TopRH:=round((yCtr+rad)*Scale)+Hoffset;
TopRV:=round((xCtr-rad)*Scale)+Voffset;
BotLH:=round((yCtr-rad)*Scale)+Hoffset;
BotLV:=round((xCtr+rad)*Scale)+Voffset;
StartH:=round(yStart*Scale)+Hoffset;
StartV:=round(xStart*Scale)+Voffset;
EndH:=round(yEnd*Scale)+Hoffset;
EndV:=round(xEnd*Scale)+Voffset;
fDraw.Canvas.Arc(TopRH,TopRV,BotLH,BotLV,StartH,StartV,EndH,EndV);
