Circle Method

Applies To   See Also

Draws a circle or ellipse on a form.

Syntax

Object.Circle (nRadius [, nXCoord, nYCoord [, nAspect]])

Arguments

nRadius

Specifies the radius of the circle or ellipse. The ScaleMode property of the form determines the unit of measurement used.

nXCoord, nYCoord

Specifies the coordinates for the center point of the circle or ellipse. The ScaleMode property of the form determines the units of measurement used.

nAspect

Specifies the aspect ratio of the circle. The default value is 1.0, which produces a perfect (nonelliptical) circle. Values greater than 1.0 produce a vertical ellipse; values less than 1.0 produce a horizontal ellipse.

Remarks

To control the width of the line used to draw the circle or ellipse, set the DrawWidth property.

To control the way the circle is drawn in the background, set the DrawMode and DrawStyle properties.

To fill a circle, set the FillColor and FillStyle properties of the form.

When the Circle method is invoked, CurrentX and CurrentY are set to the center point arguments, nXCoord, nYCoord.
