Shape - Arc Options
Dialog selections are discussed below the image. For navigation to an item make a selection in the Shape - Arc Options image.
Shape - Arc Options dialog. Make selection above.
This dialog screen shows options for:
- Start angle - Set the starting angular point of the arc along the circular boundary. Total Launcher follows standard screen graphics coordinates, where
0°points to the right (positive x-axis) and angles increase clockwise. To translate from traditional Cartesian mathematics where angles sweep counter-clockwise with90°pointing up, consult thearc_calc.htmltool above to calculate the correspondingStart Angle.- 0° (Start angle value badge) - Open a numeric input keypad to enter a precise start angle value directly instead of using the slider. Use the “calculator” on this page to convert the 'clock example / Cartesian mathematics' to Total Launcher's input format.
- Start angle slider / adjustment buttons (- / +) - Drag the slider handle or tap the minus (
-) and plus (+) buttons to incrementally adjust the start angle in degrees.
- Sweep angle - Set the rotational span of the arc starting from the specified start angle. Total Launcher applies this sweep clockwise around the center. The
arc_calc.htmldialog helper provides the exact clockwiseSweep Anglevalue required to match standard mathematical representations.- 90° (Sweep angle value badge) - Open a numeric input keypad to enter a precise sweep angle value directly instead of using the slider.
- Sweep angle slider / adjustment buttons (- / +) - Drag the slider handle or tap the minus (
-) and plus (+) buttons to incrementally adjust the total angular sweep of the arc.
- Cancel (Inner Dialog) - Discard any adjustments made to the start and sweep angles and dismiss the arc settings overlay.
- OK - Apply the configured start angle and sweep angle values to the arc shape definition.
Below is another clock-illustrated example of 4 starting angles with varying sweep angles:
