## Description

Method: Arc2Bezier

    Params:   X, Y, Width, Height, Angle1, Angle2, Rotation, Points, Count
      Returns:  Nothing

      Use Arc2Bezier to convert an Arc and ArcLength into a Bezier Aproximation
      of the Arc. The Rotation parameter accepts a Rotation-Angle for a rotated
      Ellipse'- for a non-rotated ellipse this value would be 0, or 360. If the
      AngleLength is greater than 90 degrees, or is equal to 0, it automatically
      exits, as Bezier cannot accurately aproximate any angle greater then 90
      degrees, and in fact for best result no angle greater than 45 should be
      converted, instead an array of Bezier's should be created, each Bezier
      descibing a portion of the total arc no greater than 45 degrees. The angles
      are 1/16th of a degree. For example, a full circle equals 5760 (16*360).
      Positive values of Angle and AngleLength mean counter-clockwise while
      negative values mean clockwise direction. Zero degrees is at the 3 o'clock
      position.
