ELLIPSE

Draws an ellipse.

You can draw a complete ellipse, as described here, or an Elliptical Arc.

To draw a complete ellipse, type ELLIPSE on the command line. Then you have the following choices (do not specify Arc).

1 <Axis endpoint 1>
2 Axis endpoint 2
3 Either:
<Other axis endpoint>
 - or -
a Rotation
b Rotation around major axis

- or -

1 Center
2 Axis endpoint
3 Either:
<Other axis endpoint>
 - or -
a Rotation
b Rotation around major axis

Rotation defines the major to minor axis ratio by rotating a circle about the first axis. The higher the value (0 to 89.4 degrees), the greater the ratio of minor to major axis. A ratio of 0 defines a circle.
