Description:: Draws an ellipse on the map. Just like with marker or trigger area, negative a and b will result in hexagon.
Groups:: GUI Control - Map

Syntax:: map drawEllipse [centre, a, b, angle, color, fill, alignWithMap]
Parameters:: map: Control
: centre: Object or Array format Position2D, Position3D - ellipse's centre
: a: Number - horizontal (x) radius
: b: Number - vertical (y) radius
: angle: Number - angle of rotation in degrees
: color: Array format Color (RGBA) - line color
: fill: String - fill texture file or Procedural Textures. Note that the file texture will not rotate with rectangle, use drawIcon for that. If fill texture is not empty, set line color to white [1,1,1,1]
since 2.18: alignWithMap (Optional): Boolean - when false the shape will not follow map rotation. Default: true
Return Value:: Nothing

Example 1:: findDisplay 12 displayCtrl 51 ctrlAddEventHandler ["Draw", { _this select 0 drawEllipse [ player, 10, 10, 0, [1, 0, 0, 1], "" ]; _this select 0 drawEllipse [ player, -10, -10, 0, [1, 1, 1, 1], "#(rgb,8,8,3)color(1,0.6,0,1)" ]; _this select 0 drawEllipse [ player, -10, -10, 90, [0, 0, 1, 1], "" ]; }];

: Be careful when using this command. Unlike map markers, the draw commands can decrease your framerate.
