I is the location of the starting point of the arc and J defines where the arc center is from the starting point. Note that  there is Absolute
distance mode ( G90 ) and also Incremental distance mode ( G91 ).

Sorry Rich, but that's not correct.

I is the X coordinate of the arc center, and J is the Y coordinate of the arc center. In absolute IJ mode, they specify the actual arc center. In Incremental IJ mode, they are relative to the start of the arc.
