BOOL Chord(hDC,X1,Y1,X2,Y2,X3,Y3,X4,Y4)
This function draws a chord (a region bounded by the intersection of an ellipse and a line segment). The (X1, Y1) and (X2, Y2) parameters specify the upper-left and lower-right corners, respectively, of a rectangle bounding the ellipse that is part of the chord. The (X3, Y3) and (X4, Y4) parameters specify the endpoints of a line that intersects the ellipse. The chord is drawn by using the selected pen and filled by using the selected brush.
| Parameter | Type/Description |
| hDC | HDC Identifies the device context in which the chord will appear. | |
| X1 | int Specifies the x-coordinate of the bounding rectangle's upper-left corner. | |
| Y1 | int Specifies the y-coordinate of the bounding rectangle's upper-left corner. | |
| X2 | int Specifies the x-coordinate of the bounding rectangle's lower-right corner. | |
| Y2 | int Specifies the y-coordinate of the bounding rectangle's lower-right corner. | |
| X3 | int Specifies the x-coordinate of one end of the line segment. | |
| Y3 | int Specifies the y-coordinate of one end of the line segment. | |
| X4 | int Specifies the x-coordinate of one end of the line segment. | |
| Y4 | int Specifies the y-coordinate of one end of the line segment. |
The return value specifies whether or not the arc is drawn. It is nonzero if the arc is drawn. Otherwise, it is zero.
