Arc
Arcs are quarter circles, which can be used to draw full circles, quarter,
half, or three-quarter circles. Arcs can also be used to create rounded
corners on line drawings.
Each arc segment must be separately enabled. With all four segments
enabled, the object will be a circle; with the top-left and bottom-left
segments enabled, the object will be the left half of a circle. The segments
are enabled in the Arc’s Look menu.
There are four sizes of arc. Since the PanelBuilder screen does not show
graphics, a character representation is displayed so you can design your
screens. On the PanelView terminal you see true arcs and circles.
