i am drawing a circle in C# using the drawEllipse() method. i want to fill a segment of it, but i just cant do it. the fillEllipse method just fills an ellipse of the specified size. i ftied the drawCurve inside a loop and kept looping until the co ordinates were the same as the sentre point of the circle, but no joy. anyone got any ideas??
filling a segment of a circle?

at the moment i would suggest just draw the ellipse and then draw over it so that only the needed segment is visible, but if you want to have a segment like a cake then i would suggest using math (sin and cos)
maybe you have a picture or an example what you want to paint then i can go on helping you

you missunderstood me, i said i am going to help you at the cos and sin math, this is also a good training for me, i try to create an image which will show you how you can implement it yourself, it isnt that difficult, but i can tell you that you get the x coords with sin and the y coords with cos, it is like a circle, just wait for my image, will take some time to do that 
ah omg that hurts i spend about 2-3 hours to write a tutorial, but now i see that DrawPie Method at the Graphics object, which is the solution for your Problem ...
Nevertheless i give you now the order to look at it

This is a circle, you see the Y line, X line, R (radius) line and the angle Phi (greek symbol)
First you have to know that we normally use radian angles that mean 360
