An Ellipse

## NAME

Geometry::Primitive::Ellipse - An Ellipse

## DESCRIPTION

Geometry::Primitive::Ellipse represents an elliptical conic section.

## SYNOPSIS

```
  use Geometry::Primitive::Ellipse;
  my $ellipse = Geometry::Primitive::Ellipse->new(
      width => 15,
      height => 10
  );
  print $ellipse->area;
```

## ATTRIBUTES

### height

Set/Get the height of this ellipse.

### origin

Set/Get the origin of this ellipse.

### width

Set/Get the width of this ellipse.

## METHODS

### new

Creates a new Geometry::Primitive::Ellipse

### area

Returns the area of this ellipse.

### point\_end

Gets the "end" point for this Ellipse.  Same as `"point_start"`.

### point\_start

Get the point that "starts" this Ellipse.  Returns the a point where the X coordinate is the Ellipse origin X and the origin Y + height / 2.

### scale ($amount)
