Circular arc with center through two points

Marking three points M, A and B produces a circular arc with center M, starting point A and endpoint B. Note: point B does not have to lie on the arc.


Circular sector with center through two points

Marking three points M, A and B produces a circular sector with center M, starting point A and endpoint B. Note: point B does not have to lie on the sector.


Circumcircular arc through three points

Marking three points produces a circular arc through these points.
