Figure I'. CIRCLE's Ellipse
The range for aspect ratio is a single-precisio~8
floating-point number greater than ••• (to 1*1. >.
Although a negative value will be accepted by BASICG, the
results of using a negative value are unpredictable.
Hints and Tips about aspect ratio:
•
Entering .5 as the ratio produces a circle •
Numbers between. and .5 produce an ellipse with a
major axis on X.
Numbers over .5 generate an ellipse with a major axis
on Y.
Even though you can enter large aspect ratios, large
numbers may produce straight lines.
