Introduction

The Arc is one of the basic primitives that can be created on the fly. The Arc Tag encompasses the various attributes that are associated with a Arc, such as position, size and orientation. In addition, the Arc can be textured with a predefined image from a specific location.

Tag Attributes

  • name
    • Usage: <arc name="myarc" />.
    • The name attribute is optional. If omitted, the name is not used and thus cannot be retrieved within JavaScript.
    • The Arc is given an Identifier so that It can be retrieved and modified within JavaScript.
    • The name is a only accepts a string of Alpha-numeric characters.
  • position
    • Usage: <arc position="0.3, 5.5, 3.8" />.
    • The position attribute is optional. If omitted, the position defaults to the Origin location at {0.0, 0.0, 0.0}.
    • The position attribute holds a set of three floating point numbers separated by commas that are associated with the distance away from the Origin Point on the X, Y, and Z axis.
  • size
    • Usage: <arc size="0.4" />.
    • The size attribute defines the size of the Sphere on the screen.

Syntax

<canvas>
  <arc name="myarc" position="0.0, 0.3, 0.5" orientation="0.2, 0.6, 1.3" size="1.9" texture="mytexture" />
</canvas>
