5.3.4.3 Circular arcs

In fact, circles and circular arcs are ellipses and elliptic arcs. When being created, they are set to be the circular special cases; but, they do not differ from elliptic objects in anything more significant then just a few property values. Therefore, circles have two radii and other properties which might seem useless.

See Elliptic arcs for full description.

• Circular arc defined by three points on its perimeter

Creates a circular arc defined by three points on its perimeter. The three points must not be collinear.

• Circular arc defined by the center point and radius

Creates a circular arc defined by the center point and radius. The radius, the end point parameters, etc. can be modified in the Property editor.

• Circle defined by three points on its perimeter

Creates a circle defined by three points on its perimeter. The three points must not be collinear.

• Circle by the center point and a point

Creates a circle defined by the center point and a point on its perimeter.

• Circle by the center point and radius

Creates a circle defined by the center point and radius. The radius can be modified in the Property editor.
