## Chord

### Format

chord x,y,width,height,startangle,widthangle
chord ( x,y,width,height,startangle,widthangle )

### Description

Draws a of the circle or ellipse inside the bounding rectangle defined by x, y, width, and height. The center of the circle/ellipse will be in the center of the rectangle. The angles are defined from the 12 o'clock position in a clockwise direction in radians.

As seen in the example below a chord may be used to draw a filled circle or an ellipse by defining the angular width to go all the way around (2*pi).
