StartAngle Property
Description
Sets and returns the angle, in radians, at which the arc begins along a circle or ellipse with regard to the major axis.
Property type
Read-write property
Syntax
Visual Basic
Public Property StartAngle As Double
Remarks
The Start Angle and Sweep Angle combine to define the range of an arc along a circle or ellipse.
