That's the way I painted elipses in eary versions of Jave. The only
problem is that it takes a lot of hand-draw elipses to have all of them
up to a certain size. There are more then 100 of them up to this size:
       _____       
    .-'     `-.    
  .'           `.  
 /               \ 
;                 ;
|                 |
;                 ;
 \               / 
  `.           .'  
    `-._____.-'

Thanks :-)

Ok, I will do that.
