Initializes points and therefore the shape.

get_arc_center

Looks at the normals to the first two anchors, and finds their intersection points

init_points

move_arc_center_to

stop_angle

Attributes

Used to animate the application of any method of self.

animation_overrides

color

depth

The depth of the mobject.

fill_color

If there are multiple colors (for gradient) this returns the first one

height

The height of the mobject.
