.SH NAME
\fBplarc\fP - Draw a circular or elliptical arc 
.SH SYNOPSIS
\fBplarc\fP(\fIx\fP, \fIy\fP, \fIa\fP, \fIb\fP, \fIangle1\fP, \fIangle2\fP, \fIrotate\fP, \fIfill\fP)
.SH DESCRIPTION

.P
Draw a possibly filled arc centered at \fIx\fP, \fIy\fP with semimajor axis  \fIa\fP and semiminor axis  \fIb\fP, starting at  \fIangle1\fP and ending at  \fIangle2\fP. 
.P
Redacted form:  General: \fBplarc(x, y, a, b, angle1, angle2, rotate, fill)\fP

.P
This function is used in examples 3 and 27. 
.SH ARGUMENTS
