SweptAngle

When constructing circular or elliptical arcs, it is sometimes necessary to specify which of several possible arcs you want. For example, if you ask for a circular arc from the point (1, 0) to the point (0, 1) with a radius of 1, there are four possible solutions:

An arc with a swept angle of 90 degrees, with center point at (0, 0)
An arc with a swept angle of -270 degrees, with center point at (0, 0)
An arc with a swept angle of -90 degrees, with center point at (1, 1)
An Arc with a swept angle of 270 degrees, with center point at (1, 1)

The SweptAngle type is used in these cases to specify which arc you want.

Indicate which of four possible arcs you would like to construct. Used by Arc2d.withRadius and EllipticalArc2d.fromEndpoints.

smallPositive : SweptAngle

Construct a counterclockwise arc with a swept angle between 0 and 180 degrees.

smallNegative : SweptAngle

Construct a clockwise arc with a swept angle between 0 and -180 degrees.

largePositive : SweptAngle

Construct a counterclockwise arc with a swept angle between 180 and 360 degrees.

largeNegative : SweptAngle

Construct a clockwise arc with a swept angle between -180 and -360 degrees.
