ellipseMode

Description​

Modifies the location from which ellipses are drawn by changing the way in which parameters given to ellipse are interpreted.

The default mode is CENTER, in which the first two parameters are interpreted as the shape's center point's x and y coordinates respectively, while the third and fourth parameters are its width and height.

ellipseMode(RADIUS) also uses the first two parameters as the shape's center point's x and y coordinates, but uses the third and fourth parameters to specify half of the shapes's width and height.

ellipseMode(CORNER) interprets the first two parameters as the upper-left corner of the shape, while the third and fourth parameters are its width and height.

ellipseMode(CORNERS) interprets the first two parameters as the location of one corner of the ellipse's bounding box, and the third and fourth parameters as the location of the opposite corner.
