How to create a pie chart

Problem/Question/Abstract:

Can anyone point me in the direction of an code snippet for drawing a pie/ circle given the following definition:

procedure Pie(ACanvas: TCanvas; ACenter: TPoint; ARadius: Integer; AStartDeg, AEndDeg: Float);

which draws a pie as a section of a circle starting at AStartDeg dregrees (0 being straight up - or whatever) and ending at AEndDeg (360 beging straight up - or whatever) using ACanvas default drawing parameters (brush and pen).

Answer:

The TCanvas.Pie can be used to get what you want - with a little trig. The following has 0 degrees being to the right (as in trig classes) witha positive angle in the counterclockwise direction (as in trig classes):

uses
  Math; {DegToRad}

procedure DrawPieSlice(const Canvas: TCanvas; const Center: TPoint;
  const Radius: Integer; const StartDegrees, StopDegrees: Double);
const
  Offset = 0; {to make 0 degrees start to the right}
var
  X1, X2, X3, X4: Integer;
  Y1, Y2, Y3, Y4: Integer;
begin
  X1 := Center.X - Radius;
  Y1 := Center.Y - Radius;
  X2 := Center.X + Radius;
  Y2 := Center.Y + Radius;
  {negative signs on "Y" values to correct for "flip" from normal math defintion for "Y" dimension}
  X3 := Center.X + Round(Radius * COS(DegToRad(Offset + StartDegrees)));
  Y3 := Center.y - Round(Radius * SIN(DegToRad(Offset + StartDegrees)));
  X4 := Center.X + Round(Radius * COS(DegToRad(Offset + StopDegrees)));
  Y4 := Center.y - Round(Radius * SIN(DegToRad(Offset + StopDegrees)));
  Canvas.Pie(X1, Y1, X2, Y2, X3, Y3, X4, Y4);
end;

procedure TForm1.Button1Click(Sender: TObject);
var
  Center: TPoint;
  Bitmap: TBitmap;
  Radius: Integer;
begin
  Assert(Image1.Width = Image1.Height); {Assume square for now}
  Bitmap := TBitmap.Create;
  try
    Bitmap.Width := Image1.Width;
    Bitmap.Height := Image1.Height;
    Bitmap.PixelFormat := pf24bit;
    Bitmap.Canvas.Brush.Color := clRed;
    Bitmap.Canvas.Pen.Color := clBlue;
    Center := Point(Bitmap.Width div 2, Bitmap.Height div 2);
    Radius := Bitmap.Width div 2;
    DrawPieSlice(Bitmap.Canvas, Center, Radius, 0, 30);
    DrawPieSlice(Bitmap.Canvas, Center, Radius, 90, 120);
    Image1.Picture.Graphic := Bitmap;
  finally
    Bitmap.Free;
  end;
end;
