Printing of Ellipses
Ellipses are generally drawn with two different line thicknesses in order to enhance the spatial effect of the presentation. Half of the ellipse is drawn with the
Thick
pen, the other half with the
Thin
pen.
Two options are available for ellipses and threads which can be used for defining the form of transition from one line thickness to another.
When the first option is chosen, a gradual transition is made at the changeover point in the printout, as would usually be the case with manual drawing.
No gradual transition is made with the second option, the transition is abrupt. This option can be preferable if you want to edit the drawing later in another program.
