Description

Issue description

The description has the following sentence:

"The origin of the arc's ellipse may be changed with the ellipseMode() function. "

This should be:

"The center of the arc's ellipse may be changed with the ellipseMode() function. "

The word "center" is used for ellipses. The word "origin" is used for coordinate systems.
