gml:ArcByCenterPoint

This variant of the arc requires that the points on the arc shall be computed instead of storing the coordinates directly. The single control point is the center point of the arc plus the radius and the bearing at start and end. This representation can be used only in 2D.
The element radius specifies the radius of the arc.
The element startAngle specifies the bearing of the arc at the start.
The element endAngle specifies the bearing of the arc at the end.
The interpolation is fixed as "circularArcCenterPointWithRadius".
Since this type describes always a single arc, the attribute "numArc" is fixed to "1".
The content model follows the general pattern for the encoding of curve segments.
