RE: How to draw an ellipse

This is easy.  Create keypoints within an elliptical coordinate system and create the ellipse via splines.

! Sample of input
LOCAL,11,1,,,,,,,0.5  ! PAR1 argument is key for creating elliptical CSYS
CSYS,11
K,1:10,1,0:90:9       ! create keypoints for spline
BSPLINE               ! specify points which to use

The rest of the creation should be trivial from here.

Good luck!
