How to Create a Circular SVG Path Using Linked Border Segments?

Creating a Circle with Linked Border Segments

Problem:

Creating a circle with linked segments on the border requires finding points along the circle that serve as coordinates for SVG path elements.

Solution:

To calculate points on a circle, trigonometric equations are used:

X Coordinate = Radius * Cos(Angle in Radians) Center X-Coordinate
Y Coordinate = Radius * Sin(Angle in Radians) Center Y-Coordinate
Angle in Radians = Angle in Degrees * Math.PI / 180

Example:

For a circle with 6 segments and a radius of 50, with a center point at (55,55):

Angle Range	Point Coordinates
0-60°	(105,55)
60-120°	(80,98.30)
120-180°	(30,98.30)
180-240°	(5,55)
240-300°	(30,11.69)
300-360°	(80,11.69)

SVG Path:

To create the path, start from the center point:

• Start at the center point (55,55).
• Draw a line to the "From Point" (e.g., (105,55)).
• Draw an arc to the "To Point" (e.g., (80,98.30)).

Demo:

Below is an example of an SVG with 6 segments and linked borders:

<svg viewbox="0 0 110 110">
  <path d="M55,55 L105,55 A50,50 0 0,1 80,98.30z"></path>
  ... (additional paths for each segment)
