drawArc()
Draw an arc straight onto the display.
display.drawArc(x1, y1, x2, y2)
The arc is part of the oval that fills the box with corners (x1, y1) and (x2, y2). Angles are in degrees, with 0 at the three o'clock position; a positive angle goes counter-clockwise, a negative one clockwise. The constants HALF_PI, PI, and TWO_PI may be used for the angles. This draws to the canvas and returns nothing, which is fast and best for shapes you will not change later. To keep a handle you can move or delete, create an Arc and add() it instead. Erase these drawings with clearDrawing().
