CArc
Draw an circular arc in the current line style. If the start
point is not specified then the current drawing position is
used as the start position, otherwise a Move is executed to
the new start position before drawing. The center of the Arc
and the direction of the arc must always be specified.
Either an angle or a destination point can be specified. If
a destination point is specified, at least one dimension of
the end point must be specified and the user must ensure
that a valid arc can be drawn from the start to the end
point given the specified center point. If not, the
application will terminate the arc as close as possible to
the specified endpoint.
