 + 
 +A two dimensional shape that surrounds two focal points, such that for all points on the curve, the sum of the two distances to the focal points is a constant. 
 + 
 +The ''radius'' determines the size of the ellipsoid about X and Y axis. Ellipsoids can be created at a requested ''center''. The ''segments'' specify the number of segments to create per full rotation.

 +=== Circle ===
  
 A two dimensional shape made by drawing a curve that is always the same distance from a center. All points are the same distance from the center. A two dimensional shape made by drawing a curve that is always the same distance from a center. All points are the same distance from the center.
