Draw a circle using Arcade in Python3

The arcade library is a high-tech Python Package with advanced set of tools for making 2D games with gripping graphics and sound. It is Object-oriented and is especially built for Python 3.6 and above versions.

Arcade inbuilt functions to draw circle :-

1. arcade.draw_circle_outline( ) : This function is used to draw the outline of a circle.   

Syntax: arcade.draw_circle_outline(center_x, center_y, radius, color, border_width, num_segments)

Parameters:

• center_x  – x position that is the center of the circle.
• center_y  – y position that is the center of the circle.
• radius  – width of the circle.
• color – color which with outline will be drawn.
• border_width – Width of the circle outline in pixels.
• num_segments – Higher is the number of segments, higher is the quality, but slower render time. The default value is -1 which means arcade will try to calculate a reasonable amount of segments based on the size of the circle.

Let’s take an example-

Output:

Since, now you know how to draw a simple outline of a circle. Let’s draw the Olympic flag using this arcade.draw_circle_outline( ).

Output:

2. arcade.draw_circle_filled( ) : This function is used to draw color filled circle . 

Syntax: arcade.draw_circle_outline(center_x, center_y, radius, color, num_segments)

Parameters:

• center_x  – x position that is the center of the circle.
• center_y  – y position that is the center of the circle.
• radius  – width of the circle.
• color – color which with outline will be drawn.
• num_segments – Higher is the number of segments, higher is the quality, but slower render time. The default value is -1 which means arcade will try to calculate a reasonable amount of segments based on the size of the circle.

Let’s take an example-

Output:

Since, now you know how to draw a simple outline of a circle. Let’s draw a snowman using this arcade.draw_circle_filled( ).

Output:
