Hi,

I'm having trouble tring to figute out how to calculate arcs.  In 
particular, I'd like to convert a path's arc syntax into the equivilant 
(or closest) cubic syntax. 

I'm writing a program that parses the content of the path element and 
produces GeneralPath shapes in Java.  The GeneralPath can create shapes 
composed of linear, quadratic and cubic splines.  Any light shed into 
how to interpret the arc syntax would be a big help.
