MajorAxis: A Vector object representing the orientation of the major axis (the line which defines the longest distance across an ellipse, from one end to the other).

RadiusRatio: A double-precision variable or number defining the major to minor axis ratio of an ellipse. A radius ratio of 1.0 defines a circle.

Block Collection : AddEllipse Method

Description

Adds an ellipse given the center, major axis and the radius ratio.

Visual Basic
Public Function AddEllipse( _ ByVal Center As Point, _ ByVal MajorAxis As Vector, _ ByVal RadiusRatio As Double _ ) As Ellipse

Center: A Point object representing the center of the ellipse.
MajorAxis: A Vector object representing the orientation of the major axis (the line which defines the longest distance across an ellipse, from one end to the other).
RadiusRatio: A double-precision variable or number defining the major to minor axis ratio of an ellipse. A radius ratio of 1.0 defines a circle.
