[Richard Suchenwirth] 2007-06-12 - 'A figure used in many Asian cultures to symbolize the unity of the two "opposite" male and female elements, the "yin" and "yang."' [http://mathworld.wolfram.com/Yin-Yang.html] Here's a solution on a [canvas] with 4 arc items: [http://wiki.tcl.tk/_repo/wiki_images/yinyang.jpg] package require Tk proc yinyang {w x0 y0 diameter {col1 black} {col2 white}} { set xm [expr {$x0 + $diameter/2.}] set ym [expr {$y0 + $diameter/2.}] set x1 [expr {$x0 + $diameter}] set y1 [expr {$y0 + $diameter}] set y2 [expr {$ym - $diameter/4.}] set y3 [expr {$ym + $diameter/4.}] $w create arc $x0 $y0 $x1 $y1 -start 0 -extent 180 -fill $col1 $w create arc $x0 $y0 $x1 $y1 -start 180 -extent 180 -fill $col2 $w create arc $x0 $y2 $xm $y3 -start 0 -extent 180 -fill $col2 -outline $col2 $w create arc $xm $y2 $x1 $y3 -start 180 -extent 180 -fill $col1 -outline $col1 } #-- Test and demo: pack [canvas .c] yinyang .c 20 20 100 red blue ---- Not to nitpick.. but I'm going to nitpick: There should be a red circle in the middle of the blue and a blue circle in the middle of the red.. symbolizing that nothing is pure. Also the orientation of the slices is usually vertical not horizontal, see e.g.: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yin_yang - [RS]: I was just following the description at Mathworld (see link above). But rotation is easily done, just add e.g. 90 to the -start options when arcs are created. ---- [Category Graphics]
