Problem with StrokeArc

[thaflo]

As I am trying to draw a cake-like thing, I encountered the problem, that the cake-pieces (StrokeArc) don't fit together. Code's like this, picture is attached.Don't know if it's my code fault or what else. In DiskUsage it seems to work.

				backgr->SetPenSize(200);
				backgr->StrokeArc(p, 100, 100, 0, 18);
				backgr->SetHighColor(200,0,0);	
				backgr->StrokeArc(p, 100, 100, 18, 18);
				backgr->SetHighColor(200,200,200);			
				backgr->StrokeArc(p, 100, 100, 36, 18);
				backgr->SetHighColor(0,200,0);			
				backgr->StrokeArc(p, 100, 100, 54, 18);
				
				backgr->SetPenSize(20);
				backgr->FillArc(p,40,40, 0,360);
				backgr->SetHighColor(255,0,0);			
				backgr->FillArc(p,20,20, 0,360);

Your screenshot does not seem to match at all with your code excerpt: not only the angles are wrong, but also the colors and pen widths? Is it from a different test? Or is that really broken too?

Maybe I (as a beginner) did something wrong. At least I don't get the result I am expecting. I attach the whole code I have. Click the 3th button to draw the thing

The screenshot and the code still don't match, but I see what you mean.

At a quick glance, we first turn arcs into Bézier curves, which can't really represent them exactly. Whatever immeasurable imprecision for a 1-pixel path is multiplied the farther you go from the middle line, so it would be noticeable with your pen size.

Not sure if that's all, though.
