Introduction

XamRadialMenu summary

The xamRadialMenu control divides the items area into equally sized wedges displaying all of the menu items from a certain level arranged in a circle in the items area. Each menu item can occupy one or more wedges. If the sum of the wedges of all menu items is greater than the wedges count, the wedges size is recalculated so all menu items can fit in the items area. If the sum of the wedges of all menu items is less than the wedges count, a blank space will be added after the last menu item.
