Description

This function draws an elliptical chord (a region bounded by the intersection of an ellipse and a line segment, called a secant).
The draw direction can be changed with the function DynaPDF.SetDrawDirection. The start and end angles are always measured counter clockwise independent of the drawing direction.
A chord is a closed path that can be filled, stroked or both. It is also possible to draw a chord invisible to apply the filling rules nonzero winding number or even-odd. The filling rules are described under DynaPDF.ClipPath. The parameter FillMode is ignored if the chord is drawn inside a clipping path. The fill modes are described under DynaPDF.ClosePath.
