Chord(X1,Y1,X2,Y2,X3,Y3,X4,Y4)

Creates a shape that is defined by an arc and a line that joins the endpoints of the arc.

The chord consists of a portion of an ellipse that is bound by the points (X1,Y1) and (X2,Y2). The ellipse is bisected by a line that runs between the points (X3,Y3) and (X4,Y4). The perimeter of the chord runs counter clockwise from (X3, Y3), counterclockwise along the ellipse to (X4,Y4), and straight back to (X3,Y3). If (X3,Y3) and (X4,Y4) are not on the surface of the ellipse, the corresponding corners on the chord are the closest points on the perimeter that intersect the line.

• X1. Integer.
