Ellipse

Deprecated. Do not use in new code.

(Engine-Level Function)

Description:	Draws an ellipse on the screen.
Returns:	Nothing
Usage:	Steady State only.
Function Groups:	Graphics
Related to:	Arc | Ball | Circle | GUIArc | GUIChord | GUIEllipse | GUIPie
Format:	Ellipse(X, Y, XRadius, YRadius, Color, Width)
Parameters:

X

Required. Any numeric expression giving the X coordinate of the center of the ellipse on the screen.

Y

Required. Any numeric expression giving the Y coordinate of the center of the ellipse on the screen.

XRadius

Required. Any numeric expression giving the radius of the ellipse along the X axis specified in units of X screen coordinates.

YRadius

Required. Any numeric expression giving the radius of the ellipse along the Y axis specified in units of Y screen coordinates.

Color

Required. A numeric expression giving the color of the ellipse.

Width

Required. Any numeric expression giving the width of the ellipse wall in units of X screen coordinates. The Width is always rounded to result in an odd number of pixels on the screen. The minimum width displayed will be 1 pixel.

Comments:

This statement has been superseded by the GUIEllipse function and is maintained for backwards compatibility only. As of version 11, this is now drawn in the same z-order as other graphics, making it similar to the z-graphics functions.

Example:

Ellipse(400, 300 { Screen coordinates of ellipse center },
        200 { X radius in screen coordinates }, 
        100 { Y radius in screen coordinates }, 
        6 { Brown color }, 
        20 { Width of elliptical line in pixels }); 

This displays a brown ellipse in the middle of the screen.
