+Drawing circles
+---------------
+
+There are four methods that draw circles on the canvas:
+
+- ``fill_arc(x, y, radius, start_angle, end_angle, anticlockwise=False)``: Draw a filled arc centered at ``(x, y)`` with a radius of ``radius``.
+- ``stroke_arc(x, y, radius, start_angle, end_angle, anticlockwise=False)``: Draw an arc outline centered at ``(x, y)`` with a radius of ``radius``.
+- ``fill_arcs(x, y, radius, start_angle, end_angle, anticlockwise=False)``: Draw filled arcs centered at ``(x, y)`` with a radius of ``radius``. Where ``x``, ``y``, ``radius`` and other arguments are NumPy arrays, lists or scalar values.
+- ``stroke_arcs(x, y, radius, start_angle, end_angle, anticlockwise=False)``: Draw an arc outlines centered at ``(x, y)`` with a radius of ``radius``. Where ``x``, ``y``, ``radius`` and other arguments are NumPy arrays, lists or scalar values.
