counterclockwise from the 3 o'clock position, as shown in the following
illustration.
The arc specification is
10,radius,(-)0SC
The radius can be any value from 1 through 255. The second specification
byte indicates the direction of the arc (counterclockwise if positive, and
clockwise if negative), its starting octant (s, a value from 0 through 7), and
the number of octants it spans (c, a value from 0 through 7, in which 0 equals
eight octants, or a full circle). You can use parentheses to improve readability.
For example, consider the following fragment of a shape definition:
...012,10,(1,-032),01E,...
This code draws a one-unit vector up and to the right, a clockwise arc from
octant 3 (with a radius of one unit for two octants), and then a one-unit vector
down and to the right, as shown in the following illustration.
