Ellipse > Rectangular (Draw Menu)

This command draws a rectangular ellipse. "Rectangular" means here that both of the ellipse's half-axes are at right angles to one another. In addition, when using this command they are horizontal and vertical. Horizontal and vertical refer to the position relative to the view. If the drawing is rotated, then the half-axes will be created correspondingly rotated.

The center point of the ellipse can be entered with the mouse by clicking at any point in the drawing.

The point on the frame surrounding the ellipse can be entered with the mouse by clicking anywhere in the drawing.

A rectangular ellipse is stored as a distorted ellipse. This means that it can be rotated or distorted later.

The ellipse is assigned to the current layer. It also contains a reference to the current pen.
