public abstract class Arc2D
extends RectangularShape
An arc defined by a bounding rectangle, start angle and angular extent, and a closure type (one of OPEN, CHORD, or PIE). The bounding rectangle defines the outer boundary of the full ellipse of which this arc is a partial section. The angles are specified relative to the non-square extents of the bounding rectangle such that 45 degrees always falls on the line from the center of the ellipse to the upper right corner of the bounding rectangle. As a result, if the bounding rectangle is noticeably longer in one axis than the other, the angles to the start and end of the arc segment will be skewed farther along the longer axis of the bounds.

This class is only the abstract superclass for all objects which store a 2D arc. The actual storage representation of the coordinates is left to the subclass.
