ellipse

lq.ellipse(x, y, width=auto, height=auto, fill=none, stroke=auto, inset=5pt, outset=0pt, label=none, clip=true, z-index=2, ..body)

Plots an ellipse or circle with origin (x, y). The origin coordinates as well as width and height can either be given as

  • data coordinates (int or float),
  • or absolute coordinates from the top left corner of the data area (length),
  • or in percent relative to the data area (ratio),
  • or a combination of the latter two (relative).

Note that coordinate types can also be mixed (e.g., a length for x and a scalar for y).

For example in order to access the center, you can write (50%, 50%).

#lq.diagram(
  width: 3cm, height: 3cm,
  lq.ellipse(2, 2, width: 10, height: 4, fill: yellow),
  lq.ellipse(10, 4, width: 4, height: 4, fill: red),
  lq.ellipse(50%, 50%, width: 45%, height: 45%, stroke: blue)
)
Parameters

x : float | relative​

The x coordinate of the origin.

y : float | relative​

The y coordinate of the origin.

width : auto | float | relative    default: auto​

The width of the ellipse.

height : auto | float | relative    default: auto​

The height of the ellipse.

fill : none | color | gradient | tiling    default: none​

How to fill the ellipse.

stroke : auto | none | stroke    default: auto​

How to stroke the ellipse.

inset : relative | dictionary    default: 5pt​

How much to pad the content of the ellipse. See the built-in std.ellipse#inset.

outset : relative | dictionary    default: 0pt​

How much to expand the ellipse beyond its defined size. See the built-in std.ellipse#outset.

label : content    default: none​

The legend label for this plot. See plot.label.

clip : bool    default: true​

Whether to clip the plot to the data area. See plot.clip.

z-index : int | float    default: 2​

Determines the zz position of this plot in the order of rendered diagram objects. See plot.z-index.

..body : any​

An optional body to place inside the ellipse. If width and/or height are set to auto, they will adapt to the content.
