Drawing ellipses and elliptical arcs with piecewise cubic Bézier curve approximations
Jerry R. Van Aken
This tutorial explains how to use piecewise cubic Bézier curves to draw arbitrarily oriented ellipses and elliptical arcs. The geometric principles discussed here result in strikin…

A Fast Parametric Ellipse Algorithm
Jerry R. Van Aken
This paper describes a 2-D graphics algorithm that uses shifts and adds to precisely plot a series of points on an ellipse of any shape and orientation. The algorithm can also plot…
