   Perhaps not the best group to post this question in but since it is not
a gneral X question, rather one with XFree86 ....

   So my question is this:
 I am calling either of the two mentioned functions (XdrawArc and XFillArc)
 and get no error.  However neither do i get an Arc *:).

 I do get XDrawPolygon and XFillPolygon etc to work, just the two Arc
functions fail.

 As an elaboration: XFillArc() does do something: it will draw, say 1 or 2
percent of the filled arc (usually not even that much) and then only if the
window, and hence the Arc, is very large.


 I don't think that it is the way i set things for the function call, but
one never knows.  If you have any ideas, or have seen something similar I
would like to hear your suggestions (e-mail preferrably).  If you need more
information et me know and I will e-mail you all you ask for (as long as it
is related to the question *:) )


 Thanks for reading, hopefully someone will shed light.
