ns2varc
Draw an arc at (px,py,pz) with normal (nx,ny,nz) in current pen (thickness,colour) - vector input.
Prototype
void ns2varc(XYZ P, XYZ N, XYZ S, float deg, int nseg);
Description
Draw an arc at position P with normal N using the current pen thickness and colour. Vector S gives starting vector from P and is rotated around the normal in steps (deg/(nseg-1)).
This function is an "extension", and its behaviour for world coordinates which have unequal scales in x, y and/or z is not particularly well defined.

int main(int argc, char *argv[])
