AWT Arc2D Class

The Arc2D class is the superclass for all objects that store a 2D arc defined by a framing rectangle, start angle, angular extent (length of the arc), and a closure type (OPEN, CHORD, or PIE).
Following is the declaration for java.awt.Arc2D class:
public abstract class Arc2D
   extends RectangularShape
Following are the fields for java.awt.geom.Arc2D class:
static int CHORD -- The closure type for an arc closed by drawing a straight line segment from the start of the arc segment to the end of the arc segment.
static int CHORD -- The closure type for an arc closed by drawing a straight line segment from the start of the arc segment to the end of the arc segment.
static int OPEN  -- The closure type for an open arc with no path segments connecting the two ends of the arc segment.
static int OPEN  -- The closure type for an open arc with no path segments connecting the two ends of the arc segment.
static int PIE  --  The closure type for an arc closed by drawing straight line segments from the start of the arc segment to the center of the full ellipse and from that point to the end of the arc segment.
static int PIE  --  The closure type for an arc closed by drawing straight line segments from the start of the arc segment to the center of the full ellipse and from that point to the end of the arc segment.

}
Compile the program using command prompt. Go to D:/ > AWT  and type the following command.
D:\AWT>javac com\tutorialspoint\gui\AwtGraphicsDemo.java
If no error comes that means compilation is successful. Run the program using following command.
D:\AWT>java com.tutorialspoint.gui.AwtGraphicsDemo
