Arc is a piece of the ellipse. It has the extra startAngle and length properties compared to Ellipse. Both these parameters are measured in degrees, ranging from 0 to 360.
The following is an example of an ellipse and a similar arc with a length of 180 degrees:
// chapter2/shapes/ArcAndEllipse.javaEllipse ellipse = new Ellipse();ellipse.setRadiusX(60);ellipse.setRadiusY(40);ellipse.setFill(Color.DARKGREY);Arc arc = new Arc();arc.setRadiusX(60);arc.setRadiusY(40);arc.setFill(Color.DARKGREY);arc.setStartAngle(45);arc.setLength(180);
QuadCurve and CubicCurve represent quadratic and cubic Bezier parametric curves. This is a popular method ...
