As you see in the attached image the Ellipses are not Parallel, they are concentric. What I am looking for is a way to draw 2 Parallel Arcs where the distance between the arcs remain constant along the entire Arc. If the Arcs are that of a circle, the line are indeed Parallel, but as elliptical arcs, they are not. I found some documentation stating that one has to draw and Oval parallel to the Arc/Ellipse but in Java, I cannot find a way to do this, as there is only arc2D to work with.
