  Version: 
arc(x, y, radius, startAngle, endAngle, [anticlockwise], [overshoot])

Description:

Draw an arc.

This method can be used to create circles, or parts of circles.

Make sure you call beginPath before starting the arc unless you wish for the arc to automatically close when filled or stroked.

Use the optional overshoot argument increase the number of iterations that take place when the arc is rendered in WebGL. This is useful if you're drawing an arc with an especially thick line, as it will allow the arc to fully join-up. Try small values at first, i.e. 0.01.

Call Phaser.GameObjects.Graphics#fillPath or Phaser.GameObjects.Graphics#strokePath after calling this method to draw the arc.

Parameters:

name type arguments Default description
x number

The x coordinate of the center of the circle.

y number

The y coordinate of the center of the circle.

radius number

The radius of the circle.

startAngle number

The starting angle, in radians.

endAngle number

The ending angle, in radians.

anticlockwise boolean <optional> false

Whether the drawing should be anticlockwise or clockwise.

overshoot number <optional> 0

This value allows you to increase the segment iterations in WebGL rendering. Useful if the arc has a thick stroke and needs to overshoot to join-up cleanly. Use small numbers such as 0.01 to start with and increase as needed.
