The usual way of converting circular arcs into cubic Beziers uses one curve for no more than 90 degrees of arc. Presumably calling CGPathAddArcToPoint() for less than 90 degrees will always add exactly one path segment (though this is an implementation detail of course). So you could try dividing up your arcs into a fixed number of sub-arcs so that the sub-arcs are always less than 90 degrees. _______________________________________________ Cocoa-dev mailing list (Cocoa-dev@lists.apple.com) Please do not post admin requests or moderator comments to the list.
