Hints and Tips about start and end:
When using the default values for start and end,
you must use commas as delimiters if you wish to add
more parameters.
If you use PI, it is not a reserved word in BASICG and
must be defined in your program.

Aspect Ratio
You can draw ellipses by varying the aspect ratio from the
default value (.5) for a circle (and semicircle).
Every ellipse has a "major axis" which is the ellipse's
longer, predominant axis. with an ellipse (as with a
circle), the two axes are at right angles to each other.
The mathematical equation for determining the aspect ratio
is:
ar = length of Y-axis/length of X-axis
If the aspect ratio is .5, a circle is drawn.
If the ratio is less than .5, an ellipse with a major
axis on the X-axis is drawn.
If the ratio is greater than .5, an ~llipse with a major
axis on the Y-axis is drawn.
