detailed in this chapter.

Hierarchy: Freezable ➝ Animatable ➝ PathSegment

Type: Geometry

<ArcSegment

LargeArc="true|false"

Point="5,5"

Size="10,10"

SweepFlag="true|false"

XRotation="45" />

or:

<ArcSegment

LargeArc="true|false"

Size="10,10"

SweepFlag="true|false"

XRotation="45">

<ArcSegment.Point>

<Point X="5" Y="5" />

</ArcSegment.Point>

</ArcSegment>

<ArcSegment .../> should be a child of PathFigure. It represents an elliptical arc

between two instances of

Point (Figure 9-2). ArcSegment does not contain its start point

location because the start point is assumed to be the current

Point of the parent

PathFigure.
