I am using the mid-point circle algorithm (bresenham circle) to efficiently draw whole circles. Is there something similar to draw circle arcs? I would like to specify a start angle and end angle and have only that portion of the circle drawn.

Thanks in advance!

EDIT: I would like to draw filled circle arcs too, i.e pie-slices. :)
