and minor axes (radii) which connect start and end. One which

connects them in a CCW fashion and one which connected them in a

CW fashion. If sweep is 1, the CCW ellipse will be used. If
|

sweep is 0, the CW ellipse will be used.
|

sweep is 0, the CW ellipse will be used. See note on curve

end : complex

The end point of the large_arc (must be distinct from start).

autoscale_radius : bool
|

If autoscale_radius == True, then will also scale self.radius
|

in the case that no ellipse exists with the input parameters
|
||||
(see in-line comments for further explanation).
|
||||
|

Note on CW and CCW: The notions of CW and CCW are reversed in some
|

sense when viewing SVGs (as the y coordinate starts at the top of the

image and increases towards the bottom).

Derived Parameters
|
||||
------------------
|
||||
self._parameterize() sets self.center, self.theta and self.delta
|
||||
for use in self.point() and other methods. If
|
||||
autoscale_radius == True, then this will also scale self.radius in the
|
||||
case that no ellipse exists with the given parameters (see usage
|
||||
below).
|
||||
|
||||
Derived Parameters/Attributes
|
||||
-----------------------------
|
||||
self.theta : float
|
||||
This is the phase (in degrees) of self.u1transform(self.start).
|
||||
It is $\theta_1$ in the official documentation and ranges from
|
||||
-180 to 180.
|
||||
|
||||
self.delta : float
|
||||
This is the angular distance (in degrees) between the start and
|
||||
end of the arc after the arc has been sent to the unit circle

It is $\Delta\theta$ in the official documentation and ranges from
|

-360 to 360; being positive when the arc travels CCW and negative
|
||||
otherwise (i.e. is positive/negative when sweep == True/False).
|
||||
|
||||
self.center : complex
|
||||
This is the center of the arc's ellipse.
|
||||
self.phi : float
|
||||
The arc's rotation in radians, i.e. `radians(self.rotation)`.
|
||||
self.rot_matrix : complex
|
||||
Equal to `exp(1j * self.phi)` which is also equal to
|

`cos(self.phi) + 1j*sin(self.phi)`.

|

Note on curve orientation (CW vs CCW)
|
||||
-------------------------------------
|
||||
The notions of clockwise (CW) and counter-clockwise (CCW) are reversed
|
||||
in some sense when viewing SVGs (as the y coordinate starts at the top
|
||||
of the image and increases towards the bottom).
