DRAWING ARCS

     
     The Arc Absolute or AA , and the Arc Relative or AR
     command use the following method for drawing arcs. Your
     current pen location becomes one end of the arc; you
     specify the center point with one parameter (setting
     the radius), and set another parameter to specify the
     number of degrees through which you want the arc drawn.
     For more information see the PCL 5 Printer Language
     Technical Reference Manual.

                                   there is no physical pen,
                                   the SP command must be
