bounding rectangle of the arc and the start and swing angles.

Hi,

I didn't get the meaning of the parameters either from the original post
nor from the link. An image could help here to explain..

I gt the feeling that he isn't talking circles but means ellipses
oriented with major and minor axes in the horizontal and vertical
