====== ELLIPSE Set_Printer Message ======


 
==== Description ====
 
The ELLIPSE message is used to print an ellipse at a specific location on the page using the current line and fill styles. The line and fill styles are set with the [[linestyle_set_printer_message|LINESTYLE]] and [[fillstyle_set_printer_message|FILLSTYLE]] messages.
 
==== Parameters ====
 
The Start and End parameters are used to print a pie wedge. The Start and End parameters use degrees to determine the start and end of the arc for the pie wedge. The "3 o-clock" position is 0 degrees, and the degrees increase to 360 counterclockwise. The Start and End must be between 0 and 360. The Repeat parameter is used to print the ellipse on every page.
