+%% Draw an ellipse arc on the current axis.
+%%
+%% drawEllipseArc(ARC)
+%% draw ellipse arc specified by ARC. ARC has the format:
+%% ARC = [XC YC A B THETA T1 T2]
+%% or:
+%% ARC = [XC YC A B T1 T2] (isothetic ellipse)
+%% with center (XC, YC), main axis of half-length A, second axis of
+%% half-length B, and ellipse arc running from t1 to t2 (both in degrees,
+%% in Counter-Clockwise orientation).
+%%
+%% Parameters can also be arrays. In this case, all arrays are suposed to
+%% have the same size...
+%%
+%% @example
+%% % draw an ellipse arc: center = [10 20], radii = 50 and 30, theta = 45

+%% figure;
+%% axis([-50 100 -50 100]); axis equal;
+%% hold on
+%% drawEllipseArc(arc, 'color', 'r')
+%%
+%% % draw another ellipse arc, between angles -60 and 70
+%% arc = [10 20 50 30 45 -60 (60+70)];
+%% figure;
+%% axis([-50 100 -50 100]); axis equal;
+%% hold on
+%% drawEllipseArc(arc, 'LineWidth', 2);
+%% ray1 = createRay([10 20], deg2rad(-60+45));
+%% drawRay(ray1)
+%% ray2 = createRay([10 20], deg2rad(70+45));
