wxPython drawing Ellipse arc and anti aliasing

I just started using wxPython and for my project I need to use wx. Here is the question I drawing a ellipse arc using wx.PaintDC is there a way to smooth drawings(anti aliasing)? I found that wx.GraphicContext have a anti aliasing but there is not way to draw ellipse arc is there?

Thank you.

    dc = wx.PaintDC(self)
    dc.Clear()
    dc.SetBrush(wx.Brush('#000000', wx.TRANSPARENT))
    dc.SetPen(wx.Pen(wx.BLACK, 4))

    dc.DrawEllipticArc(10, 10, 100, 100, 270, 0)
Solution

  • Yes, you do need to use wxGraphicsContext for AA support and it does support drawing arcs, of course, you just need to use wxGraphicsPath::AddArcToPoint() directly instead of relying on (non-existent) DrawArc() helper in wxGraphicsContext itself.
