 * Starter Graphics:
 * Create some basic examples of vector graphics
 * 
 * Stroke a line, curve, circle, arc, and rectangle using the current line width
 * and stroke color. Stroke and fill a rectangle. 
 * Draw an arc segment by drawing a line and an arc, closing the path and
 * filling and stroking it.
 * Draw a rectangle and use it as the clipping a path. Draw and fill a circle
 * using the clipping path defined.
