Ok so granted, its not a bug, but I am confounded by how to get a perfect circle arc between points via Bézier curve.
I need a shape like this:
So I've been calculating the four corner points like this from the center point, radius and angle with the following formula: (x?,y?)=(x+d cos α,y+d sin α), which in my coffeescript looks something like this:
x1 = centerPointX+outerRadius*Math.cos(currentAngle)
y1 = centerPointY+outerRadius*Math.sin(currentAngle)
x2 = centerPointX+innerRadius*Math.cos(currentAngle)
y2 = centerPointY+innerRadius*Math.sin(currentAngle)
x3 = centerPointX+outerRadius*Math.cos(currentAngle2)
y3 = centerPointY+outerRadius*Math.sin(currentAngle2)
x4 = centerPointX+innerRadius*Math.cos(currentAngle2)
y4 = centerPointY+innerRadius*Math.sin(currentAngle2)
How can I take the information I have and result in a path element with perfect circular curves?
(PS I am newish to SVG and if you want to help me out with the proper syntax for d= that would be cool, but I can always just write it myself. The challenge I would like help with is really more to do with Bézier.
UPDATE / SOLUTION
Using the answer below a guidance below is the function I actually used:
annularSector = (centerX,centerY,startAngle,endAngle,innerRadius,outerRadius) ->
startAngle = degreesToRadians startAngle+180
endAngle = degreesToRadians endAngle+180
p = [
[ centerX+innerRadius*Math.cos(startAngle), centerY+innerRadius*Math.sin(startAngle) ]
[ centerX+outerRadius*Math.cos(startAngle), centerY+outerRadius*Math.sin(startAngle) ]
[ centerX+outerRadius*Math.cos(endAngle), centerY+outerRadius*Math.sin(endAngle) ]
[ centerX+innerRadius*Math.cos(endAngle), centerY+innerRadius*Math.sin(endAngle) ]
]
angleDiff = endAngle - startAngle
largeArc = (if (angleDiff % (Math.PI * 2)) > Math.PI then 1 else 0)
commands = []
commands.push "M" + p[0].join()
commands.push "L" + p[1].join()
commands.push "A" + [ outerRadius, outerRadius ].join() + " 0 " + largeArc + " 1 " + p[2].join()
commands.push "L" + p[3].join()
commands.push "A" + [ innerRadius, innerRadius ].join() + " 0 " + largeArc + " 0 " + p[0].join()
commands.push "z"
return commands.join(" ")
