The path is a circle but the end point is unaffected by this; it is defined as being endAngle aleng the circle's circumference, measured in radians clockwise from the positive x-axis. So for example: c.beginPath(); c.moveTo(20,20); c.arc(200, 200, 100, 0, 5*Math.PI, false); c.lineTo(380,380); c.stroke(); ...draws a line from the top left, diagonally down to the right edge of a circle, and then draws a line from the left edge of that circle diagonally down to the bottom right.
