Closed ellipse drawing


PAW version:2.10/09
Description
When an ellipse is drawn with FAIS.NE.0, the result is ugly because an axis of the ellipse is also drawn. The following macro shows the problem:
   SET * ; OPT *          | Reset the defaults
   NULL 0 10 0 10 'AB'    | Draw a frame (cf HELP NULL)
   SET PLCI 2             | Line color is red
   SET LWID 6             | Line width is 6
   SET BORD 1             | Border on
   SET FAIS 1             | Filled area
   SET FACI 3             | Filled area are green
   ELLIPSE  5 5 3 5
Fixed in: HIGZ 1.26/01
Workaround
Draw the ellipse in two passes:
   NULL 0 10 0 10 'AB'
   SET BORD 0
   SET FAIS 1
   SET FACI 3
   ELLIPSE  5 5 3 5
   SET PLCI 2
   SET LWID 6
   SET FAIS 0
   ELLIPSE  5 5 3 5
