Axis Endpoint
Defines the first axis by its two endpoints. The angle of the first axis determines
the angle of the ellipse. The first axis can define either the major or the minor
axis of the ellipse.
Distance to Other Axis Defines the second axis using the distance from the
midpoint of the first axis to the endpoint of the second axis (3).
Rotation Creates the ellipse by appearing to rotate a circle about the first axis.
