Graphical representation
In the graphic editor the arc is visualized black colored with a black circle for start and
end point. If the path element is selected it is displayed red colored with a blue start
point and a black bordered end point. Additionally a light gray colored circle in the
middle of the arc is visualize, if the radius is relocatable. It is possible to change the
path element by clicking the points and move it by pressed right mouse key on the
desired position.

Radius method
If the radius is used, regard that only arcs <180° (semi-circle) are possible, because the
radius-method (except for the case of a semi-circle) always describes two possible
solutions: one smaller than a semi-circle, one bigger than a semi-circle. The system
always takes that one which is smaller than a semi-circle.
