I need yo draw a shape as attached in the image using Java graphics. I am struggling with the curve part. The curve part is a arc of an circle whose radius and center is known. But I have to paint the region out side of that arc. How will I do that? I was looking at Path2D.Float() and there is a guadTo function. It says it needs a control point to draw that quadratic curve. Can anybody help me understanding what this control point means. I know how to draw that arc using drawArc method but how to paint outside the arc is what I what I want to know
