I have created a circle that is divided into quadrants. I am trying to make the ends of each quadrant rounded with a given gap between each quadrant, but I get some strange behavior. I guess I'm missing something. Below is an image of what I'm getting and the relevant code. I want the ends to be similar to that of the Apple Watch activity ring.
class GameScene: SKScene {
let radius = CGFloat(100)
var topRightPathNode : SKShapeNode!
var bottomRightPathNode : SKShapeNode!
var bottomLeftPathNode : SKShapeNode!
var topLeftPathNode : SKShapeNode!
override func didMove(to view: SKView) {
}
override init(size: CGSize) {
super.init(size: size)
let topRightPath = arcSegment(center: CGPoint.zero, radius: radius, strokeWidth: 18, gapWidth: 6)
// TOP RIGHT
topRightPathNode = SKShapeNode(path: topRightPath)
topRightPathNode.fillColor = SKColor.white
topRightPathNode.lineWidth = 0
topRightPathNode.position = CGPoint(x: 320, y: 240)
addChild(topRightPathNode)
// BOTTOM RIGHT
var reflectOnY = CGAffineTransform(scaleX: 1.0, y: -1.0)
let bottomRightPath = topRightPath.copy(using: &reflectOnY)!
bottomRightPathNode = SKShapeNode(path: bottomRightPath)
bottomRightPathNode.fillColor = SKColor.red
bottomRightPathNode.lineWidth = 0
bottomRightPathNode.position = CGPoint(x: 320, y: 240)
addChild(bottomRightPathNode)
// BOTTOM LEFT
//var reflectOnX = CGAffineTransform(scaleX: -1.0, y: 1.0)
//let bottomLeftPath = bottomRightPath.copy(using: &reflectOnX)!
var reflectOnXAndY = CGAffineTransform(scaleX: -1.0, y: -1.0)
let bottomLeftPath = topRightPath.copy(using: &reflectOnXAndY)!
bottomLeftPathNode = SKShapeNode(path: bottomLeftPath)
bottomLeftPathNode.fillColor = SKColor.purple
bottomLeftPathNode.lineWidth = 0
bottomLeftPathNode.position = CGPoint(x: 320, y: 240)
addChild(bottomLeftPathNode)
// TOP LEFT
var reflectOnX = CGAffineTransform(scaleX: -1.0, y: 1.0)
let topLeftPath = topRightPath.copy(using: &reflectOnX)!
topLeftPathNode = SKShapeNode(path: topLeftPath)
topLeftPathNode.fillColor = SKColor.cyan
topLeftPathNode.lineWidth = 0
topLeftPathNode.position = CGPoint(x: 320, y:240)
addChild(topLeftPathNode)
}
required init?(coder aDecoder: NSCoder) {
fatalError("init(coder:) has not been implemented")
}
func arcSegment(center : CGPoint,
radius: CGFloat,
strokeWidth: CGFloat,
gapWidth: CGFloat) -> CGPath
{
let halfStrokeWidth = strokeWidth / 2.0
let outerRadius = radius + halfStrokeWidth
let innerRadius = radius - halfStrokeWidth
let halfGap = gapWidth / 2.0
let outerStartAngle = CGFloat(atan2(sqrt(outerRadius * outerRadius - halfGap * halfGap), halfGap))
let outerEndAngle = CGFloat(atan2(halfGap, sqrt(outerRadius * outerRadius - halfGap * halfGap)))
let innerStartAngle = CGFloat(atan2(halfGap, sqrt(innerRadius * innerRadius - halfGap * halfGap)))
let innerEndAngle = CGFloat(atan2(sqrt(innerRadius * innerRadius - halfGap * halfGap), halfGap))
let path = CGMutablePath()
path.addArc(center: center, radius: outerRadius, startAngle: outerStartAngle, endAngle: outerEndAngle, clockwise: true)
// Quartz 2D will assume a "moveTo" here
path.addArc(center: CGPoint(x: center.x + radius, y: center.y), radius: halfStrokeWidth, startAngle: outerStartAngle, endAngle: outerEndAngle, clockwise: false)
path.addArc(center: center, radius: innerRadius, startAngle: innerStartAngle, endAngle: innerEndAngle, clockwise: false)
path.closeSubpath()
return path
}
Here's another set of code where the paths that are generated have rounded ends, but each arc segment is a filled path rather than being a single stroked segment. This should allow the paths to have collisions without the end caps overlapping.

let sceneSize = CGSize(width: 640, height: 480)
let sceneView = SKView(frame: CGRect(origin: CGPoint.zero, size: sceneSize))
let scene = SKScene(size: sceneSize)
scene.backgroundColor = UIColor.black
let topRightPath = arcSegment(radius: radius, strokeWidth: 18, gapWidth: 25)
let topRightPathNode = SKShapeNode(path: topRightPath)
topRightPathNode.fillColor = SKColor.white
topRightPathNode.position = CGPoint(x: 320, y: 240)
topRightPathNode.lineWidth = 0
scene.addChild(topRightPathNode)
var reflectOnY = CGAffineTransform(scaleX: 1.0, y: -1.0)
let bottomRightPath = topRightPath.copy(using: &reflectOnY)!
let bottomRightPathNode = SKShapeNode(path: bottomRightPath)
bottomRightPathNode.fillColor = SKColor.orange
bottomRightPathNode.position = CGPoint(x: 320, y: 240)
bottomRightPathNode.lineWidth = 0
scene.addChild(bottomRightPathNode)
var reflectOnX = CGAffineTransform(scaleX: -1.0, y: 1.0)
let bottomLeftPath = bottomRightPath.copy(using: &reflectOnX)!
let bottomLeftPathNode = SKShapeNode(path: bottomLeftPath)
bottomLeftPathNode.fillColor = SKColor.green
bottomLeftPathNode.position = CGPoint(x: 320, y: 240)
bottomLeftPathNode.lineWidth = 0
scene.addChild(bottomLeftPathNode)
let topLeftPath = bottomLeftPath.copy(using: &reflectOnY)!
let topLeftPathNode = SKShapeNode(path: topLeftPath)
topLeftPathNode.fillColor = SKColor.blue
topLeftPathNode.position = CGPoint(x: 320, y:240)
topLeftPathNode.lineWidth = 0
scene.addChild(topLeftPathNode)
sceneView.presentScene(scene)

PlaygroundPage.current.needsIndefiniteExecution = true
func arcSegment( radius: CGFloat,
strokeWidth: CGFloat,
gapWidth: CGFloat) -> CGPath
{
let halfStrokeWidth = strokeWidth / 2.0

let innerRadius = radius - halfStrokeWidth
let halfGap = gapWidth / 2.0
let outerStartAngle = CGFloat(atan2(sqrt(outerRadius * outerRadius - halfGap * halfGap), halfGap))
let outerEndAngle = CGFloat(atan2(halfGap, sqrt(outerRadius * outerRadius - halfGap * halfGap)))

let leftEndAngle = CGFloat(atan2(sqrt(radius * radius - halfGap * halfGap), halfGap))
let leftEndCapPoint = CGPoint(x: radius * cos(leftEndAngle),
y: radius * sin(leftEndAngle))
let rightEndCapPoint = CGPoint(x: leftEndCapPoint.y,
y: leftEndCapPoint.x)
let path = CGMutablePath()
path.addArc(center: CGPoint.zero,
radius: outerRadius,

endAngle: outerEndAngle,
clockwise: true)
path.addArc(center: rightEndCapPoint,
radius: halfStrokeWidth,
startAngle : 0,
endAngle : CGFloat.pi,

path.addArc(center: leftEndCapPoint,

All the trigonometry I put into answering your first question was necessary to get the flat ends on the curves that you wanted, aligned to the axes. Now that you've changed and want rounded end caps on the arcs you can go back to your original attempt and just rely on Quartz 2D to use rounded end cap strokes. The code is much simpler again and can be:
import UIKit
import SpriteKit
import PlaygroundSupport
let radius = CGFloat(100)
let sceneSize = CGSize(width: 640, height: 480)
let sceneView = SKView(frame: CGRect(origin: CGPoint.zero, size: sceneSize))
let scene = SKScene(size: sceneSize)
scene.backgroundColor = UIColor.black
let topRightPath = arcSegment(radius: radius, gapWidth: 25)
let topRightPathNode = SKShapeNode(path: topRightPath)
topRightPathNode.strokeColor = SKColor.white
topRightPathNode.lineWidth = 18
topRightPathNode.lineCap = .round
topRightPathNode.position = CGPoint(x: 320, y: 240)
scene.addChild(topRightPathNode)
var reflectOnY = CGAffineTransform(scaleX: 1.0, y: -1.0)
let bottomRightPath = topRightPath.copy(using: &reflectOnY)!
let bottomRightPathNode = SKShapeNode(path: bottomRightPath)
bottomRightPathNode.strokeColor = SKColor.orange
bottomRightPathNode.lineWidth = 18
bottomRightPathNode.lineCap = .round
bottomRightPathNode.position = CGPoint(x: 320, y: 240)
scene.addChild(bottomRightPathNode)
var reflectOnX = CGAffineTransform(scaleX: -1.0, y: 1.0)
let bottomLeftPath = bottomRightPath.copy(using: &reflectOnX)!
let bottomLeftPathNode = SKShapeNode(path: bottomLeftPath)
bottomLeftPathNode.strokeColor = SKColor.green
bottomLeftPathNode.lineWidth = 18
bottomLeftPathNode.lineCap = .round
bottomLeftPathNode.position = CGPoint(x: 320, y: 240)
scene.addChild(bottomLeftPathNode)
let topLeftPath = bottomLeftPath.copy(using: &reflectOnY)!
let topLeftPathNode = SKShapeNode(path: topLeftPath)
topLeftPathNode.strokeColor = SKColor.blue
topLeftPathNode.lineWidth = 18
topLeftPathNode.lineCap = .round
topLeftPathNode.position = CGPoint(x: 320, y:240)
scene.addChild(topLeftPathNode)
sceneView.presentScene(scene)
PlaygroundPage.current.liveView = sceneView
PlaygroundPage.current.needsIndefiniteExecution = true
func arcSegment( radius: CGFloat,
gapWidth: CGFloat) -> CGPath
{
let halfGap = gapWidth / 2.0
let path = CGMutablePath()
let startAngle = CGFloat(atan2(sqrt(radius * radius - halfGap * halfGap), halfGap))
let endAngle = CGFloat(atan2(halfGap, sqrt(radius * radius - halfGap * halfGap)))
path.addArc( center: CGPoint.zero,
