Currently, TCanvas.RadialPie function takes parameters StartAngle and EndAngle, documented as starting and ending angles of a circle segment to draw.
However, it actually draws a segment from StartAngle to StartAngle + EndAngle. Is it a bug in code or documentation? I tried to look at the history of Pie/RadialPie/RadialPileWithAngles code, but it is rather messy, in particular confusing comments mentioning both "angle1, angle2" and "Angle,AngleLength" were introduced together with the very first incarnation of Pie method. Additional complication is TPostScriptPrinterCanvas, which translates RadialPie directly into PostScript 'arc' operator (http://www.tailrecursive.org/postscript/operators.html#arc). Lastly, docs\xml\interfacebase.xml and lclinf.xml contain some totally different definitions of RadialPie's arguments. All in all, it seems that nobody uses RadialPie, or they would immediately notice this? -- Alexander S.
