Point belongs to an arc?

Anonymous

How can I find out whether a point belongs to a line or not. Say, if I want to find out whether a point lies on a line, I compare the length of the line and the sum of the distances between the point and the start and end points of the line. Can't think of any way to find that out for an arc.

if distance from point to radius point = radius AND startangle < pointangle < endangle (for counterclockwise arcs) then point lies on arc. test for CC or CCW arcs will be required.

Thank you. These two conditions sound right. I just hope they are enough. I'll test it with different arcs.
