How can I divide a circle into three equal parts with HTML5 canvas 2D context API like above figure?
I was trying this
Can somebody suggest a better way? probably with percentages (or in degrees) instead of hard-coded coordinates?
var can = document.getElementById('mycanvas');
var ctx = can.getContext('2d');
ctx.fillStyle = "#BD1981";
ctx.beginPath();
ctx.arc(200, 200, 150, 0, Math.PI*2, true);
ctx.closePath();
ctx.fill();
ctx.strokeStyle = "#FFC8B2";
ctx.lineWidth = "2";
ctx.beginPath();
ctx.moveTo(200, 200);
ctx.lineTo(100, 100);
ctx.closePath();
ctx.stroke();
ctx.beginPath();
ctx.moveTo(200, 200);
ctx.lineTo(350, 200);
ctx.closePath();
ctx.stroke();
ctx.beginPath();
ctx.moveTo(200, 200);
ctx.lineTo(100, 300);
ctx.closePath();
ctx.stroke();
Here is a function (demo) that allows you to specify a starting point, the length and the angle in degrees:
var drawAngledLine = function(x, y, length, angle) {
var radians = angle / 180 * Math.PI;
var endX = x + length * Math.cos(radians);
var endY = y - length * Math.sin(radians);
ctx.beginPath();
ctx.moveTo(x, y)
ctx.lineTo(endX, endY);
ctx.closePath();
ctx.stroke();
}
