+
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+The
+.BR rtgrpblib_draw_circular_arc ()
+function draws onto
+.I raster
+a circular arch, as part of a contour. The arc's circle
+is defined as the circle with the midpoint
+.RI ( x0 ,
+.IR y0 )
+and the radius that is
+.I semiwidth
+cells horizontally and
+.I semiheight
+cells vertically. The arc itself is drawn from the angle
+.I start
+to the
+.IR end ,
+both are specified in radians.
+
+.SH RETURN VALUES
+None.
+
+.SH ERRORS
+None.
+
+.SH NOTES
+The
+.BR rtgrpblib_draw_circular_arc ()
+function is intended to draw the arc of a circle, not the
+arc of an ellipse, which is why it doesn't have a way to
+rotate the ellipse despite the function providing a way
+to specify the semimajor and the semiminor, not just a
+radius. The function provides this two parameters, rather
+than a single radius parameter because the image may, and
+indeed probably will, have a different horizontal cell
+density than vertical cell density, this is because the
+pixels on a monitor are not perfect squares (and might
+not even approximate square), and because the image may
+be created (for example) for a horizontal cell density
+three times greater than the monitor's horizontal pixel
+density, but the same vertical density, in order to
+render an image that will use subpixel antialiasing.
