I’ve installed a copy of the GD2 gem to use in a web application I’m  
building. (I’ve used both versions 1 and 2 of the GD library before, but  
in  
C and Perl rather than Ruby.)

I have some test code successfully importing an image, scaling it,  
drawing  
lines and so on: the GD2 Ruby bindings seem well thought out and are  
very  
pleasant to use! However, I can’t seem to find any of the ellipse/arc  
functions, even though esoteric stuff like TextCircle seems to be there.  
Is  
this functionality missing, or have I missed something obvious?

Best wishes,

Chris.
