                      Description

                      Given two reals a and b and a point C, constructs an ellipse with semi-major axis a, semi-minor axis b and center C.

                      Given two reals a and b and a vector v, constructs an ellipse in the direction of v, with semi-major axis a, semi-minor axis b and center the origin.

                      Given two reals a and b, constructs an ellipse with semi-major axis a, semi-minor axis b and center the origin.

                      Given two reals a and b, a point C and a vector v, constructs an ellipse in the direction of v, with semi-major axis a, semi-minor axis b and center C.

                      Given two reals a and b, a point C and a real ω, constructs an ellipse in the direction given by the angle ω, with semi-major axis a, semi-minor axis b and center C.

                      Given three reals a, b and ω, constructs an ellipse in the direction given by the angle ω, with semi-major axis a, semi-minor axis b and center the origin.
