public class Bow
extends OutlinedItem
implements Externalizable

Class Bow provides a DrawingItem that joins two points with a curved (bowed) line. The curve is specified by a "curve factor." If the curve factor is positive, the line curves to the right when going from the starting point to the ending point. If the curve factor is negative, the line curves to the left. The larger the magnitude of the curve factor, the farther the line curves. (The curve factor is the tangent of the angle at which the line leaves the starting point and approaches the ending point.) The line may have an Arrow at either or both ends. The line has an outline but no filled interior.

The static defaultCurve(), defaultStartArrow(), and defaultEndArrow() methods are provided to set the default curve factor, starting arrow, and ending arrow. If the curve factor, starting arrow, or ending arrow is not specified, the current default curve factor, starting arrow, or ending arrow is used.
