How can I draw a circle sector with the ellipse class?

Question

I would like to make a sector of a circle on WP7. I tried to do this with the ellipse class and I found a lot of solution, which make a gauge or pie chart or something, but

Answer 1

You need to do something like this:

• define a canvas wrapper for ellipse

• define the visible part of the canvas (clip). For this part you need to use PathGeometry as the Clip to define the slice of the circle you want to be visible. (see link)

  
      
          
                  // define your path here (see link above)
           
  
          
      
  
  

Alternatively you can use CombinedGeometry to combine a PathGeometry and EllipseGeometry to form the slice. (the link provides a good example of CombinedGeometry)
