Detailed Description

Describes an ellipse in the plane (2D space). An ellipse is defined by its major and minor radii and positioned in the plane with a coordinate system (a gp_Ax22d object) as follows:

• the origin of the coordinate system is the center of the ellipse,
• its "X Direction" defines the major axis of the ellipse, and
• its "Y Direction" defines the minor axis of the ellipse. This coordinate system is the "local coordinate system" of the ellipse. Its orientation (direct or indirect) gives an implicit orientation to the ellipse. In this coordinate system, the equation of the ellipse is:

  X*X / (MajorRadius**2) + Y*Y / (MinorRadius**2) = 1.0
