Central angle CCA and arc radius R
The starting and end points on the contour can be connected with four
arcs of the same radius:
Smaller arc: CCA<180°
Enter the radius with a positive sign R>0
Larger arc: CCA>180°
Enter the radius with a negative sign R<0
The direction of rotation determines whether the arc is curving
outward (convex) or curving inward (concave):
Convex: Direction of rotation DR– (with radius compensation RL)
Concave: Direction of rotation DR+ (with radius compensation RL)

The distance from the starting and end points of the arc
diameter cannot be greater than the diameter of the arc.
