In other BASIC languages, I can draw what looks like pizza slices of various sizes with the command:
FOR c = 0 TO PI2 STEP (PI2 / Den)
CIRCLE (XLOC, YLOC), Radius, , -c, -2Pi
NEXT c
where 2Pi is 2 times Pi radians in a whole circle
I see no such way to do this in Dark Basic. Is there one?
My purpose is to create "fraction circles" for my math students to identify and I'd prefer not to draw them all as bitmaps, having an almost endless number of them to deal with.
Thanks,
Steve

I'm not that great at math so there may be an easier way. But it can be done by drawing a line from an x and y coordinate to the radius of the circle you want, then draw lines from that starting point to the next angle (start angle + size) you want to stop at (using "cos" and "sin" to make a circle), then a line from that end angle to the starting x and y coordinate.

This code snip I threw together uses 50 as a size because it makes a nice fat slice. If you change it to 280 you see a pac-man like pie.

Hope this helps.
