canvas.stroke(); //Actually draws the path you have defined

arc signature context.arc(centerX,centerY,radius,startAngle,endAngle,counterclockwise);
Start angle
End angle
Center x,y
var canvasElement = document.getElementById("canvas");
var canvas = canvasElement.getContext("2d");
var centerX = canvasElement.width / 2;
