Here is some example code which compares the polygonal ellipse with
the spline version to get you started if you decide to go with the
polygonal appromximation Michal suggest:
import numpy as npy
from matplotlib import patches
from pylab import figure, show
xcenter, ycenter = 0.38, 0.52
#xcenter, ycenter = 0., 0.
width, height = 1e-1, 3e-1
angle = -30
theta = npy.arange(0.0, 360.0, 1.0)*npy.pi/180.0
x = width/2. * npy.cos(theta)
y = height/2. * npy.sin(theta)
rtheta = angle*npy.pi/180.
R = npy.array([
[npy.cos(rtheta), -npy.sin(rtheta)],
[npy.sin(rtheta), npy.cos(rtheta)],
])
x, y = npy.dot(R, npy.array([x, y]))
x += xcenter
y += ycenter
fig = figure()
ax = fig.add_subplot(211, aspect='auto')
ax.fill(x, y, alpha=0.2, facecolor='yellow', edgecolor='yellow',
linewidth=1, zorder=1)
e1 = patches.Arc((xcenter, ycenter), width, height,
angle=angle, linewidth=2, fill=False, zorder=2)
ax.add_patch(e1)
ax = fig.add_subplot(212, aspect='equal')
ax.fill(x, y, alpha=0.2, facecolor='green', edgecolor='green', zorder=1)
e2 = patches.Arc((xcenter, ycenter), width, height,
angle=angle, linewidth=2, fill=False, zorder=2)
ax.add_patch(e2)
#fig.savefig('ellipse_compare.png')
fig.savefig('ellipse_compare')
show()
