How to draw the arc through three points (i.e. arc \widehat{BAC}) in Asymptote?

I can draw the circumcircle of a triangle using import olympiad; draw(circumcircle(A,B,C)); but I don't know how to draw only a portion between B and C that contains A in Asymptote.

  • If you know how to do it with a rule and a compass, you would know how to do it in Asymptote. What did you try already?

    I don't think the above link answer the OP's question. I vote to reopen it. Here is a code for a possible answer unitsize(1cm); pair A=(0,0), B=(5,-1), C=(1,4); pair M=relpoint(A--B,.5), N=relpoint(A--C,.5); pair Ab=rotate(90,M)*A; pair Ac=rotate(90,N)*A; pair O=extension(Ab,M,Ac,N); draw(A--B--C--cycle,gray); draw(arc(O,B,C,CW),magenta); label("$A$",align=W,A); label("$B$",align=E,B); label("$C$",align=plain.N,C);
