not a problem, It took me 20 minutes to track down that an oval is
not a specifc shape.

since an ellipse is a rather simple shape, with known references, all
one has to do is figure out some of the parameters and a spreadsheet
will offer a simple cordinate layout.

with that, it would be very easy to generate the code for any part of
an ellipse.
