The Circle/Arc Toolbar is a set of graphical widgets used to create and edit circles, ellipses and arcs.

Functions:

New/Change: Current mode of the toolbar
Start: The angle (in degrees) from the horizontal to the arc's start point
End: The angle (in degrees) from the horizontal to the arc's end point
Switch to segment: Switch to segment (closed shape with two radii)
Switch to arc: Switch to arc (unclosed shape)
Make the shape a whole ellipse: Make the shape a whole ellipse, not arc or segment

Actual behaviours:
