UIBezierPath addArcWithCenter example in Objective C (iOS).

UIBezierPath addArcWithCenter

Appends an arc to the receiver’s path.

- (void)addArcWithCenter:(CGPoint)center radius:(CGFloat)radius startAngle:(CGFloat)startAngle endAngle:(CGFloat)endAngle clockwise:(BOOL)clockwise

Parameters of [UIBezierPath addArcWithCenter]
center
Specifies the center point of the circle (in the current coordinate system) used to define the arc.
radius
Specifies the radius of the circle used to define the arc.
startAngle
Specifies the starting angle of the arc (measured in radians).
endAngle
Specifies the end angle of the arc (measured in radians).
clockwise
The direction in which to draw the arc.

Discussion of [UIBezierPath addArcWithCenter]
This method adds the specified arc beginning at the current point. The created arc lies on the perimeter of the specified circle. When drawn in the default coordinate system, the start and end angles are based on the unit circle shown in Figure 1. [UIBezierPath addArcWithCenter] For example, specifying a start angle of 0 radians, an end angle of π radians, and setting the clockwise parameter to YES draws the bottom half of the circle. However, specifying the same start and end angles but setting the clockwise parameter set to NO draws the top half of the circle.

After calling this method, the current point is set to the point on the arc at the end angle of the circle.
