plottools[ellipse] - generate 2-D plot object for an ellipse
Calling Sequence
ellipse(c, a, b, filled=boolean, numpoints=n, options)
Parameters
c
-
center of the ellipse
a
horizontal radius of the ellipse
b
vertical radius of the ellipse
filled=boolean
(optional) whether to fill the inside of the ellipse, default=false
numpoints=n
(optional) number of points to generate, default=50
options
(optional) equations of the form option=value. For a complete list, see plot/options.
Description
The ellipse command creates a two-dimensional plot data object, which when displayed is an ellipse centered at c with radial distances a and b, that is, ellipse([x0, y0], a, b) graphs the ellipse
The plot data object produced by the ellipse command can be used in a PLOT data structure, or displayed using the plots[display] command.
Remaining arguments are interpreted as options, which are specified as equations of the form option = value. For more information, see plottools and plot/options.
Examples
Draw an ellipse described by the following equation,
which is equivalent (apart from the filled option) to:
Ellipse in arbitrary forms can be generated with object transformations like rotate in the plots package.
