To draw an ellipse using the [Ellipse] - [Axes] command
Note
When you draw an ellipse using the [Ellipse] - [Axes] command, you need to specify the
following three elements: center point, Point 1 and Point 2. Point 1 defines the minor axis
(nearest point on the edge from the center point) and Point 2 defines the major axis (farthest
point on the edge from the center point).

Drawing Figures
(1) Tap [Draw], [Ellipse], and then [Axes].
• This highlights the ellipse axes button on the toolbar.
(2) Tap the point you want to specify as the center point.
(3) Tap the point you want to specify as Point 1 (minor axis).
• This causes a line to appear between the center point and Point 1.
• Instead of tapping, you could drag the stylus from the center point to Point 1, viewing
the line that is drawn as you do.
(4) Tap or drag to the point you want to specify as Point 2 (major axis).
• This causes the ellipse to appear.
Center Point .....A
Point ................B
Point ................C
When AC is shorter than AB, Point 1 becomes the major axis and Point 2 becomes the minor
axis.
