Parameters

Center

[MKI_POINT] Center point of the ellipse.

Vector1

[MKI_POINT] First vector of the ellipse.

Vector2

[MKI_POINT] Second vector of the ellipse.

Angle1

[MKI_POINT] Start angle of the ellipse segment.

Angle2

[MKI_POINT] End angle of the ellipse segment.

Orientation

[double] Direction of the segment. If Orientation >= 0, the segment is drawn counter-clockwise from the start angle to the end angle. If Orientation < 0, the segment is drawn clockwise.

Attributes New in Version 2021.0

An ellipse segment may contain attribute data blocks (see MKI_BLOCK_ATTRIBUTE) of types "local", "outline", and "point". Their position in the list of data blocks must be as follows:

-	Outline attributes must be placed anywhere behind the first point. Any outline attribute after the first point data block belongs to the outline.

-	Point attributes must be placed behind the respective point. Any point attribute after point data block P and before the next point data block (or end of object) belongs to that point P.

-	Local attributes should be placed behind all other datablocks and attributes.

The total number of attributes of each type (local, outline, point) per respective element (entity, outline, and point) is limited to MKI_ATTRIBS_PER_OBJECT.
