Hi Richard, I think I'm missing something.
Why construct the circle (or ellipse) by setting points of a graphic when the graphic oval tool produces a much better result? No matter how many points I use when I set the points of a graphic, I still get jaggies. P.S. I tried to include a sample stack from Dropbox but I keep getting "No such card" I tried in the msg box: go url "https://www.dropbox.com/s/pq4lrjftumx4mym/EllipseInAbox.rev"; And I get "no such card" I used to be able to do this--like so many other things.
