hello,

i am working on a program that has a custom View that plots geological data on a circular plot. i currently have it configured to draw full circles but that means that a portion of the circle is still visible outside of the plotting area.

there was a method in Java that could draw a circle within a box and also allow you to specify two angles between which the arc would be drawn.

here how it is now (Obj-C)...

in java there would be no part of the blue circles would be outside of the black circle.

thanks.

What you probably want is to use NSBezierPath and a moveTo/arcTo (not sure of the exact method names) combination for your arcs. Alternatively, You should be able to set the black circle as your clipping path such that nothing ever got drawn outside of it.

thanks, the NSBezierPath is what i was looking for. it works now.
