Arguments: stream centre semi-major-axis semi-minor-axis semi-major-axis-angle start-angle length-angle
Erases an ellipse arc from stream. The ellipse is defined by the center (a position) and the two half-axes, lengths from the center to the farthest point on the edge and to the nearest point on the edge, called the semi-major-axis and the semi-minor-axis. (Technically, the major axis should be longer than the minor axis but the two arguments need not have that relationship.) The ellipse is rotated so that the semi-major-axis makes angle semi-major-axis-angle with the x-axis passing through the center. Angles are measured clockwise. The portion of the ellipse drawn is the arc starting at start-angle (0 is the x axis when the center is the origin) through the length-angle. Again, angles are measured clockwise.
Contrast with draw-ellipse-arc, which draws the ellipse on stream.
