imagearc
    (PHP 3, PHP 4, PHP 5)
imagearc -- Draw a partial ellipse
Description
bool 
imagearc ( resource image, int cx, int cy, int w, int h, int s, int e, int color )
    imagearc() draws a partial ellipse centered at
    cx, cy (top left is
    0, 0) in the image represented by image.
    W
    and h specifies the ellipse's width and
    height respectively while the start and end points are specified
    in degrees indicated by the s and
    e arguments. 0° is located at the three-o'clock
    position, and the arc is drawn clockwise.
   
Example 1. Drawing a circle with imagearc() 
<?php
  // create a 200*200 image $img = imagecreatetruecolor(200, 200);
  // allocate some colors $white = imagecolorallocate($img, 255, 255, 255); $black = imagecolorallocate($img, 0, 0, 0);     // draw a black circle  imagearc($img, 100, 100, 150, 150, 0, 360, $black);
  // output image in the browser header("Content-type: image/png"); imagepng($img);     // free memory imagedestroy($img);
  ?>
