Arguments: stream centre radius start-angle length-angle
Draws on stream a circle-sector, that is an arc and the bounding radii to produce a shape like a piece of pie, starting at start-angle and subtending length-angle, with the radius and center as specified. Angles are measures clockwise starting from the positive x-axis (taking the center as the origin). Thus start-angle 0 is the due East point if the circle is thought of as a compass. Start-angle 0 and length-angle 90 draws the lower right quarter, now thinking of the circle as a pie.
Note: incompatible change in release 6.0: in releases prior
to 6.0, when a frame-with-single-child instance
was passed to this operator, the operator was actually applied to the
child (the result of applying frame-child to the
frame-with-single-child instance). In release 6.0, this redirection no
longer occurs. If you intend this operator to apply to the
frame-child, pass that to this operator rather than the parent. This
is a non-backward-compatible-change. See the release notes for more
information.
