start and end angle of UIBezierPath?

Question

I have coded as below for half circle in iOS using UIBezierPath and CAShapeLayer.

 clockWiseLayer = [[CAShapeLayer alloc] init]         


        

Answer 1

You start from top of the circle with -M_PI_2 and end at M_PI + M_PI_2 (if you want to have full circle and limit it using strokeEnd, strokeStart). Then set the circle path to draw from half of the end of the path (left side of image) instead from beginning to half (right side of the image)

CGFloat startAngle = -M_PI_2;
CGFloat endAngle = M_PI + M_PI_2;

clockWiseLayer.strokeStart = .5f;
clockWiseLayer.strokeEnd = 1.0f;
