AR, Arc Relative

This command draws an arc, using relative coordinates, which starts at the current pen location and pivots around the specified center point.

AR Xincrement,Yincrement,sweep angle[,chord angle;]

Parameter			Format	Functional Range	Default
X	increment	,Y	current	-230to 230 - 1	no default
		increment	units
sweep angle			clamped	-32768 to 32767	no default
			real
chord angle			clamped	0.5° to 180°	5°
			real

	The AR command draws the arc starting at the current pen location
	using the current pen up/down status, line type, and attributes. After
	drawing the arc, the pen location remains at the end of the arc.
Note	Do not use an adaptive line type when drawing arcs with small chord
	angles. The printer attempts to draw the complete pattern in every
	chord (there are 72 chords in a circle using the default chord angle).
	z XIncrement, YIncrement — Specify the center of the arc relative to
	the current location. (The center of the arc is the center of the
	circle that would be drawn if the arc was 360 degrees.)
	Coordinates are interpreted in current units: as user-units when
	scaling is on; as plotter units when scaling is off. If current scaling
	is not isotropic, the arc drawn is elliptical rather than circular.
