I want to draw a trigonometric circle to represent a negative angle and defined a negative polar coordinate like \tkzDefPoint(-60:1){Q}
to draw an arc, arc label and a sector on it. Given that the angle value is negative(-60), I expected the commands \tkzDrawArc
and \tkzDrawSector
to be drawn clockwise, but they were drawn in its default direction, counterclockwise. Even the position of the arc label drawn by \tkzLabelArc
is far from the arc and appears to be positioned counterclockwise. How can I change the direction of drawing the arc, arc label and sector from counterclockwise to clockwise?? I tried using the reverse
option but it didn't work.
\documentclass{standalone}
\usepackage{tikz,tkz-euclide}

\begin{tikzpicture}
\tkzDefPoint(0,0){O}

\tkzDrawSector[R with nodes,fill=blue,line width=0.2pt](O,1)(A,Q)
\tkzDrawSegment[thin](O,Q)
\tkzDrawPoint[fill=black](Q)
\tkzDrawPoint[fill=black](A)
\draw[-{Stealth}] (-1.5,0) -- (1.5,0) node[right,xshift=-3pt] {\tiny$x$};
\draw[-{Stealth}] (0,-1.5) -- (0,1.5) node[above,yshift=-3pt] {\tiny$y$};
\tkzLabelPoint[below](Q){\tiny$Q$}

\tkzLabelPoint[above right](A){\tiny$A$}
\tkzDrawArc[-{Stealth}, line width=1pt](O,A)(Q)
