ellipse

ellipse()

Description

Draws an ellipse (oval) to the screen. By default, the first two parameters set the location of the center of the ellipse, and the third and fourth parameters set the shape’s width and height. If no height is specified, the value of width is used for both the width and height. If a negative height or width is specified, the absolute value is taken.

An ellipse with equal width and height is a circle. The origin may be changed with the ellipse_mode() function.

Examples

from proceso import Sketch


p5 = Sketch()
p5.describe("White ellipse with black outline in middle of a gray canvas")

p5.ellipse(56, 46, 55, 55)
