Given your points, Ivan is correct; however, although what I am about to write is most likely not going to be your case, there is a way of deriving it based on known dependencies. Given your points, it is possible if: * if the angle you had mentioned was the angle between the lines as

Hello Charles, You can build many ellipses through your points. More data needed for ellipse unique define. Also you can see old bezier classes http://bezier.googlecode.com/files/ru.bezier.zip Ellipse class especially. good luck! -- iv http://www.bezier.ru http://bezier.googlecode.com

hey guys I have have a maths problem that i'm having trouble solving, despite repeated attempts on Google. If i have an angle and a distance (n), plus one of the axis lengths (say the minor, y), how would i find out what the remaining axis length (x) was please? I've drawn it out here (let me kn
