Description

Draws an arc in the display window. Arcs are drawn along the outer edge of an ellipse defined by the x, y, width and height parameters. The origin or the arc's ellipse may be changed with the ellipseMode() function. The start and stop parameters specify the angles at which to draw the arc.

Syntax

height	int or float: height of the arc's ellipse
start	int or float: angle to start the arc, specified in radians or degrees depending on the current angle mode
stop	int or float: angle to stop the arc, specified in radians or degrees depending on the current angle mode
