Hello, 

I have been following the thread dated Monday, October 9, 2006 when Kamila 
Naxerova asked a question about plotting elliptical shapes. Can you explain the 
equations for X and Y. I believe they used the parametric form of x and y (x=r 
cos(theta), y=r sin(theta). I don't know what r is here ? Can you explain 1)the 
origin of these equations and 2) what is r? 

Sincerely, 
Mary A. Marion
