A canvas item that paints an ellipse or ellipse segment with a QBrush. The ellipse's height, width, start angle and angle length can be set at construction time. The size can be changed at runtime with setSize(), and the angles can be changed (if you're displaying an ellipse segment rather than a whole ellipse) with setAngles().

Note that angles are specified in 16ths of a degree.

If a start angle and length angle are set then an ellipse segment will be drawn. The start angle is the angle that goes from zero in a counter-clockwise direction (shown in green in the diagram). The length angle is the angle from the start angle in a counter-clockwise direction (shown in blue in the diagram). The blue segment is the segment of the ellipse that would be drawn. If no start angle and length angle are specified the entire ellipse is drawn.
.PP
The ellipse can be drawn on a painter with drawShape().

Like any other canvas item ellipses can be moved with move() and moveBy(), or by setting coordinates with setX(), setY() and setZ().
Constructs a \fIwidth\fR by \fIheight\fR pixel ellipse, centered at (0, 0) on \fIcanvas\fR. Only a segment of the ellipse is drawn, starting at angle \fIstartangle\fR, and extending for angle \fIangle\fR (the angle length).

Sets the angles for the ellipse. The start angle is \fIstart\fR and the extent of the segment is \fIlength\fR (the angle length) from the \fIstart\fR. The angles are specified in 16ths of a degree. By default the ellipse will start at 0 and have an angle length of 360 * 16 (a complete ellipse).
