Any applicable 2-D plot option in plot/options can also be given.

filled : truefalse

Specifies whether to fill the inside of the arc. The default is false.

rotate = real

Specifies that ellipse should be be rotated by the specified angle (in radians) from the standard position with the major axis parallel to the x-axis. The default is 0.

super = positive real, list of two positive reals, or the value true

Specifies that a (generalized) superelliptic arc should be created.

See plottools[ellipse] for more details on generalized superellipses.

The ellipticArc command creates a two-dimensional plot data object, which when displayed is an elliptic arc of an ellipse centered at c with semi-major axis a and semi-minor axis b. The arc ranges in r.

The plot data object produced by the ellipticArc command can be used in a PLOT data structure, or displayed using the plots[display] command.

Remaining arguments are interpreted as options, which are specified as equations of the form option = value. For more information, see plottools and plot/options.

The super option was introduced in Maple 2019.

The plottools[ellipticArc] command was updated in Maple 2023.

The rotate option was introduced in Maple 2023.
