.SH NAME
xfarcs - drawing a set of ellipsis
.SH CALLING SEQUENCE
.nf
[]=xfarcs(arcs,[style])
.fi
.SH PARAMETERS
.TP 
arcs
: matrix of size (6,n) (ellipsis description)
.TP 
style
: vector of size (1,n) giving the style to use ( set \fVxset("dashes",...)\fR.
.SH DESCRIPTION
draws a set of ellipsis described by \fVarcs\fR. 
\fVarcs= [ x,y,w,h,a1,a2 ; x,y,w,h,a1,a2 ;.....] '\fR : each ellipsis is defined by the 
6 parameters \fV(x,y,w,h,a1,a2)\fR (see \fVxarc\fR)
.LP
\fVfill(i)\fR gives the dash style which must be used to draw the ellipsis number \fVi\fR.
