Conic section: ellipse

Curves
JSXGraph objects
The input elements for an ellipse are either - three points: the two foci and a point on the ellipse - two point and a number: the two foci and the length of the major axis (may be a function, too).
Have also a look at the examples
  • Conic section: generic through 5 points
  • Conic section: hyperbola
  • Conic section: parabola
  • Ellipse: pin and string method
