Draw an ellipse. If an axes object is specified, draws on that axes, otherwise draws on the current axes. Can specify x,y position and x,y radii. The y radius can be omitted to draw a circle if no further input parameters are used. Optional parameters include tilt, arc start and end angles, number of points to plot, a line format string (like used in PLOT()) and parameter/value format pairs (like used in PLOT()).
