JXG.GeometryElement
↳ JXG.Curve
↳ Ellipse
This element is used to provide a constructor for an ellipse. An ellipse is given by two points (the foci) and a third point on the the ellipse or
the length of the major axis.
Defined in: Conic.js.

Element Detail
Ellipse
-
This element has no direct constructor. To create an instance of this element you have to call JXG.Board#create
with type "ellipse".
- Possible parent array combinations are:
-
{JXG.Point|array} point1
{JXG.Point|array} point2
{JXG.Point|array} point3
- Parent elements can be three elements either of type JXG.Point or array of numbers describing the coordinates of a point. In the latter case the point will be constructed automatically as a fixed invisible point.
-
{JXG.Point|array} point1
{JXG.Point|array} point2
{number|function} number
- Parent elements can be two elements either of type JXG.Point or array of numbers describing the coordinates of a point. The third parameter is a number/function which defines the length of the major axis Optional parameters four and five are numbers which define the curve length (e.g. start/end). Default values are -pi and pi.
- Throws:
- {Exception}
- If the element cannot be constructed with the given parent objects an exception is thrown.
- Examples:
// Create an Ellipse by three points
var A = board.create('point', [-1,4]);
var B = board.create('point', [-1,-4]);
var C = board.create('point', [1,1]);
var el = board.create('ellipse',[A,B,C]);
