Two functions are associated with drawing filled ellipses: areacircle() and areaellipse(). areacircle() (a macro that calls areaellipse()) will draw a circle from the specified center point using the specified radius. This function is executed by the statement: AreaCircle(&rastPort, center_x, center_y, radius); Similarly, areaellipse() draws a filled ellipse with the specified radii from the specified center point: AreaEllipse(&rastPort, center_x, center_y, horiz_r, vert_r); Outlining with setopen() is not currently supported by the areacircle() and areaellipse() routines. Caution: -------- If you attempt to fill an area outside the bounds of the bitmap, using the basic initialized rastport, it may crash the system. you must either do your own software clipping to assure that the area is in range, or use the layers library.
