Draw Arc using javascript

Question

Is there a way to draw an arc using points in JavaScript??

I need to draw an arc when I specify a group of points.

Answer 1

Depending on what platforms you want to support and on the complexity of the drawing, I'd suggest either DHTML, canvas (with ExplorerCanvas for IE).

Although DHTML is cross-browser, canvas seems the way to go for future projects since it is capable of much more and is actually meant to be used for graphics.

Edit: Either I was wrong when I originally wrote this or ExplorerCanvas was actually using flash to render its canvas. but now they've seemed to switch to VML and/or Silverlight. I've edited my answer to exclude that variable dependency. I've also added a stronger suggestion towards canvas.
