Figure 203: Ellipse properties

Ellipse:

Center X, Center Y: These two values define the center coordinates of the ellipse.

Radius X, Radius Y: With these values the radius in horizontal and vertical direction can be changed. If the values are equal the resulting object is a circle.

Segment count: The ellipse consists of a number of segments. This number is calculated to the complete 360° ellipse.

Start Angle, Delta: With these parameters it is possible to define arcs. Here, the start angle defines the angle at which the elliptic or circular arc has to start relative to the x-axis and delta defines the angle of the arc relative to the start angle.
