    <p>Use the <b>arcAngle</b> <glossary tag="property">property</glossary> to create an arc shape from an oval <keyword tag="graphic">graphic</keyword>, or to cause the Oval <glossary tag="paint tool">paint tool</glossary> to draw arcs.</p><p/><p><b>Value:</b></p><p>The <b>arcAngle</b> of a <keyword tag="graphic">graphic</keyword> is an <keyword tag="integer">integer</keyword> between zero and 360.</p><p/><p>By default, the <b>arcAngle</b> <glossary tag="property">property</glossary> of a newly created <keyword tag="graphic">graphic</keyword> is 360.</p><p/><p><b>Comments:</b></p><p>By default, ovals display their entire arc from zero to 360, forming a complete oval. Use the <b>startAngle</b> and <b>arcAngle</b> <property tag="properties">properties</property> to specify that only a portion of the oval, forming an arc, should be drawn.</p><p/><p>The <b>arcAngle</b> determines how much of the oval is used to form the arc, from zero (no arc) to 360 (a full oval). For example, if the <i>angleInDegrees</i> is 90, a quarter-oval arc is displayed.</p><p/><p>The global setting of the <b>arcAngle</b> <glossary tag="property">property</glossary> controls the appearance of arcs drawn with the <glossary tag="paint tool">paint tools</glossary>. Once a paint arc is drawn, its appearance cannot be changed by changing the <command tag="global">global</command> <b>arcAngle</b> <glossary tag="property">property</glossary>.</p>
