The <ellipse> Tag
The <ellipse> tag is used to create an ellipse. An ellipse is closely
related to a circle. The difference is that an ellipse has an x and a y radius that differs
from each other, while a circle has equal x and y radius.
Copy the following code into Notepad and save
the file as "ellipse1.svg". Place the file in your Web directory:
