Ellipse

Draws an ellipse or arc on the current or specified axes

You are now following this Submission

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()).
