ellipse(a,b,x0,y0,phi)

function [X,Y] = ellipse(a,b,x0,y0,phi)
%ELLIPSE computes an arbitrary ellipse with given parameters.
%       [X,Y] = ELLIPSE(a,b,x0,y0,phi)
%
%   Input parameters:
%       a           Value of the major axis
%       b           Value of the minor axis
%       x0          Abscissa of the center point of the ellipse
%       y0          Ordinate of the center point of the ellipse
%       phi         Angle between x-axis and the major axis
%
%   Output:
%       X           X coordinates of ellipse
%       Y           Y coordinates of ellipse
%
%   Simple usage:
%       [x,y]=ellipse(5,3);
%       [x,y]=ellipse(5,3,pi/4);
%       [x,y]=ellipse(5,3,1,-2,pi/4);
