Element Detail
Sector
This element has no direct constructor. To create an instance of this element you have to call JXG.Board#create with type "sector".

Possible parent array combinations are:
{JXG.Point} p1
{JXG.Point} p2
{JXG.Point} p3

A sector is defined by three points: The sector's center p1, a second point p2 defining the radius and a third point p3 defining the angle of the sector. The Sector is always drawn counter clockwise from p2 to p3.

In this case, the sector will have an arc as sub-object.

Second possibility of input parameters are:




line2, coords1 or direction1, coords2 or direction2, radius The sector is defined by two lines. The two legs which define the sector are given by two coordinates arrays which are project initially two the two lines or by two directions (+/- 1). The last parameter is the radius of the sector.

In this case, the sector will not have an arc as sub-object.



Throws:
{Error}
If the element cannot be constructed with the given parent objects an exception is thrown. First possibility of input parameters are:
Examples:
// Create a sector out of three free points
var p1 = board.create('point', [1.5, 5.0]),
    p2 = board.create('point', [1.0, 0.5]),
    p3 = board.create('point', [5.0, 3.0]),

    a = board.create('sector', [p1, p2, p3]);


				
				
// Create a sector out of two lines, two directions and a radius
var p1 = board.create('point', [-1, 4]),
 p2 = board.create('point', [4, 1]),
 q1 = board.create('point', [-2, -3]),
 q2 = board.create('point', [4,3]),

 li1 = board.create('line', [p1,p2], {strokeColor:'black', lastArrow:true}),
 li2 = board.create('line', [q1,q2], {lastArrow:true}),

 sec1 = board.create('sector', [li1, li2, [5.5, 0], [4, 3], 3]),
 sec2 = board.create('sector', [li1, li2, 1, -1, 4]);





				
				
var t = board.create('transform', [2, 1.5], {type: 'scale'});
var s1 = board.create('sector', [[-3.5,-3], [-3.5, -2], [-3.5,-4]], {
                anglePoint: {visible:true}, center: {visible: true}, radiusPoint: {visible: true},
                fillColor: 'yellow', strokeColor: 'black'});
var s2 = board.create('curve', [s1, t], {fillColor: 'yellow', strokeColor: 'black'});





				
				
var A = board.create('point', [3, -2]),
    B = board.create('point', [-2, -2]),
    C = board.create('point', [0, 4]);

var angle = board.create('sector', [B, A, C], {
        strokeWidth: 0,
        arc: {
        	visible: true,
        	strokeWidth: 3,
          lastArrow: {size: 4},
          firstArrow: {size: 4}
        }
      });
//angle.arc.setAttribute({firstArrow: false});
angle.arc.setAttribute({lastArrow: false});
