         * Constructs a new arc, initialized to the specified location,
         * size, angular extents, and closure type.
         *
         * @param x The X coordinate of the upper-left corner
         *          of the arc's framing rectangle.
         * @param y The Y coordinate of the upper-left corner
         *          of the arc's framing rectangle.
         * @param w The overall width of the full ellipse of which this
         *          arc is a partial section.
         * @param h The overall height of the full ellipse of which this
         *          arc is a partial section.
         * @param start The starting angle of the arc in degrees.
         * @param extent The angular extent of the arc in degrees.
         * @param type The closure type for the arc:
         * {@link #OPEN}, {@link #CHORD}, or {@link #PIE}.
