 49  * @class An arc is a segment of the circumference of a circle. It is defined by a center, one point that
 50  * defines the radius, and a third point that defines the angle of the arc.

 52  * @pseudo
 53  * @name Arc
 54  * @augments Curve

 58  * @param {JXG.Point_JXG.Point_JXG.Point} p1,p2,p3 The result will be an arc of a circle around p1 through p2. The arc is drawn
 59  * counter-clockwise from p2 to p3.
 60  * @example
 61  * // Create an arc out of three free points
 62  * var p1 = board.create('point', [2.0, 2.0]);
