Creation method#

There are two options for creating an Ellipse node.#

  • The first way to create an Ellipse node is using the search list, which is opened by double left-clicking in the workspace. You can write the name of the node you need or words associated with this node.
    • ellipse
  • The second way is to select an Ellipse node from the menu that opens from the top left.
    • Menu > Tool > Primitive curves > Ellipse

Steps#

  • Create an Ellipse node.
  • Connect the center point of the ellipse to the first port.
  • The second port gets the semi-major axis of the ellipse.
  • The third port gets the semi-minor axis of the ellipse.

After creating the node, connect the center point to the first port. Connect the semi-major axis to the second port and the semi-minor axis to the third port. On the output port, you will receive the resulting ellipse.
