/* An ellipse has a semi-major axis of length a,
   and semi-minor axis of length b.

   The ellipse can be represented by the equations:
     x = a cos(angle)
     y = b sin(angle)

  The radius is the semi-major axis value (a), and the
  semi-minor axis is set to be some fraction of a.
  We hardwire   b == 0.5 * radius.
