The GraphicsPath::AddPie method adds a pie to this path. An arc is a portion of an ellipse, and a pie is a portion of the area enclosed by an ellipse. A pie is bounded by an arc and two lines (edges) that go from the center of the ellipse to the endpoints of the arc.

## Syntax

``````Status AddPie(
IN INT  x,
IN INT  y,
IN INT  width,
IN INT  height,
IN REAL startAngle,
IN REAL sweepAngle
);
``````

## Parameters

`x`

Type: INT

Integer that specifies the x-coordinate of the upper-left corner of the rectangle that bounds the ellipse that bounds the pie.

`y`

Type: INT

Integer that specifies the y-coordinate of the upper-left corner of the rectangle that bounds the ellipse that bounds the pie.

`width`

Type: INT

Integer that specifies the width of the rectangle that bounds the ellipse that bounds the pie.

`height`

Type: INT

Integer that specifies the height of the rectangle that bounds the ellipse that bounds the pie.

`startAngle`

Type: REAL

Real number that specifies the clockwise angle, in degrees, between the horizontal axis of the ellipse and the starting point of the arc that defines the pie.

`sweepAngle`

Type: REAL

Real number that specifies the clockwise angle, in degrees, between the starting and ending points of the arc that defines the pie.

## Return Value

Type: Type: Status

If the method succeeds, it returns Ok, which is an element of the Status enumeration.

If the method fails, it returns one of the other elements of the Status enumeration.
