The way I as thinking, the user could click once to set the center, make a second click to set the radius and the first endpoint of the arc at the same time, and a third click to set the second endpoint of the arc. One might also want to support the control key to constrain the arc to regular steps like 22.5 degrees. -- "There are some things in life worth obsessing over.
