Ellipse

An Ellipse object.

This is a geometry object, containing numerical values and related methods to inspect and modify them.

It is not a Game Object, in that you cannot add it to the display list, and it has no texture.

To render an Ellipse you should look at the capabilities of the Graphics class.

xnumberYes0The x position of the center of the ellipse.
ynumberYes0The y position of the center of the ellipse.
