Assuming the clock is a normal circle, the standard trigonometric formulae
apply:

x = r * cos(t);
y = r * sin(t);

where "t" is the angle of the line (keeping in mind that screen displays
usually have the Y axis reversed from the standard mathematical coordinate
systems).

You do, of course, need to map your time values (hours, minutes, seconds)
to degrees. But that should not be difficult for you to figure out.

If you want an elliptical clock, you might check this thread I was just
involved in:

Hello all, In my html page I want to add an image say of 800x600. Now I want that when ever I am given two coordinates on this image say (x1, y1)=(50, 100) and (x2, y2)=(200, 300), the java script code will trace these coordinates on the image and draw the line between these two points. Can anyone please help me in writing the javascript code of this problem? Thanks and Regards Atif

I am doing an app (C# 2.0) where you can draw in a panel with your mouse in "real time". I actually have 2 problems; 1- it does not really is "real time", if your mouse move fast or very fast the line is added after a very small delay. 2-Because I use AddLine(), it adds very short lines from one point to another and it does not give a very good result. Also because of this and my "not real time" problem, when the mouse moves fast it adds...
