Description Moritz Post CLA 2012-03-29 10:40:41 EDT 
Currently the protocol uses the following operations to draw an arc which looks like pacman:

[beginPath]
[moveTo, 275, 208]
[ellipse, 275, 208, 110, 83, 0, 0.6981, 5.585, false]
[fill]

These message assume, that the ellipse call creates a line from the arcs center to the arc circle. On some client implementations this implicit line is not created. Therefore a more explicit approach would be:

[beginPath]
[ellipse, 275, 208, 110, 83, 0, 0.6981, 5.585, false]
[lineTo, 275, 208]
[fill]
