Syntax

[a[n]] [(solid|filled)] (ellipse|oval) (with|of) radi(i|us) %number% and %number%

Description

Creates a ellipse, elliptical disc, or elliptical cylinder shape with the given radii. The radii must be greater than 0. The first radius is the x radius, and the second radius is the z radius. These are relative to the shape's rotation, so they only correspond exactly to the x and z axes if the shape is not rotated. NOTE: Very eccentric elliptical discs/sectors (those with a large difference between the x and z radii) may have many more particles than expected. Be careful.

Examples

set {_shape} to oval with radii 10 and 3
set {_shape} to a solid ellipse of radius 3 and 5
set {_shape} to a hollow elliptical cylinder with radii 3 and 6 and height 5
