**//ELLIPSE, left, top, right, bottom, \{fill\}**

ELLIPSE draws an ellipse within a specified bounding rectangle. 

**Parameters**

_left, top, right, bottom_

Coordinates of the bounding rectangle, in the current mapping units, within which the ellipse is drawn. Note that if these coordinates describe the special case of a square, then the resulting ellipse will actually be a circle.

_fill_

If specified, causes the ellipse interior to be filled with various shades of gray or colors. See the table of fill values under [RECTANGLE](rectangle_pd.htm.md) for details.
