Plot the angle arc for some angle.

30 Oct 2008

Similar to plotting a circle, only plots an arc based on its centre, radius and angle span.

File Information
Description	It's nothing groundbreaking but I use this all the time and thought I should share it with other knowledge seekers. The function is very helpful if you're into plotting mechanisms and various angles within one axes.
Acknowledgements	Draw A Circle. inspired this file.
MATLAB release	MATLAB 7.4 (R2007a)

14 Nov 2012	Michael	It's useful, but it can only plot arcs < 180°, in other words span=[a,b] gives the same arc as span=[b,a]. If you don't want that, add e.g. if span(2)<span(1) span(2) = span(2) + 2*pi; end before theta = ...
