Class Ellipse

javafx.scene.shape.Ellipse

All Implemented Interfaces:: Styleable, EventTarget

public class Ellipse
extends Shape

The Ellipse class creates a new ellipse with the specified size and location in pixels

import javafx.scene.shape.*;

Ellipse ellipse = new Ellipse(); {
ellipse.setCenterX(50.0f);
ellipse.setCenterY(50.0f);
ellipse.setRadiusX(50.0f);
ellipse.setRadiusY(25.0f);

Since:: JavaFX 2.0
