title: Path.circleSegment()
---
The `Path.circleSegment()` method draws a circle segment
starting from the current endpoint of the path around the given origin with a given angle.
A positive angle results in a counter-clockwise arc.
A negative angle results in a clockwise arc.
:::tip
The new endpoint of this path is the same point
that
```js
path.end().rotate(deg, origin)
```
would return.
:::
## Signature
```js
Path path.circleSegment(deg, origin)
```
:::tipThis method is chainable as it returns the `Path` object:::
## Example
<Example caption="Example of the Path.circleSegment() method">
```js
({ Point, points, Path, paths, part }) => {
points.from = new Point(10, 20)
points.origin = new Point(40, 0)
paths.line = new Path()
.move(points.from)
.circleSegment(90, points.origin)
.setText("→ Path.circleSegment() →", "text-sm center fill-note")
paths.helper = new Path()
.move(paths.line.start())
.line(points.origin)
.line(paths.line.end())
.setClass('dotted stroke-sm')
return part
}
```
