One can create a perfect ellipse using two pins on a piece of string and a pencil. Place the pins at opposite sides and then loop the string around them. Finally place the pencil in the loops and pull it around the pins to draw the ellipse.

What does elipticall mean?
isn't it an arty word, like when you draw an ellipse-- so when you see/draw something with an ellipse you call it an elliptical drawing
What is the diameter of a elliptical galaxy?
Variable, as an ellipse is not a perfect circle.
Define the focus and the eccentricity of an ellipse?
A circle is perfectly round, and has one center. An ellipse is like a circle with TWO "centers", and each "center" is called a "focus". The plural of "focus" is "foci". Take a piece of string and tie a loop in each end. Put a pin through the loops, and hold it still in the center of the circle. Place the tip of your pencil at the center of the string, and you can draw a circle by keeping the string taut. Now take TWO pins, and put one pin at each end of the string; place the pins at some short distance apart, and hold them there. Place your pencil and draw, and the shape you draw will be an ellipse. The two pinpoints are the focuses, or foci, of the ellipse. Eccentricity is a measure of how far the ellipse varies from a circle. An ellipse with an eccentricity of zero _IS_ a circle, while an eccentricity of 1.0 is a straight line, with that string stretched out straight. In astronomy, every natural orbit is an ellipse.
How can you draw an ellipse by arc of circle method when major axis 120mm and minor axis 80mm?
Circular segment
Is it true if you draw a perfect circle you'll be a killer?
In reality, it's physically impossible to draw a "perfect circle." There is no scientific evidence to suggest that if you draw circle you'll be a killer.
What is the independent variable for the ellipse you will draw?
It depends what ellipse you will draw :P
How do you draw a perfect circl in Photoshop?
Choose Ellipse tool from toolbox, hold down Shift key, click and drag.
What is the purpose of ellipse tool in Photoshop?
To draw ellipse or circle shapes and paths.

Write a java code to draw a circle inside in an ellipse?

How do you draw ellipse in engineering graphics please tell me?
use the rhombus method....one of the methods my prof told me hehehe...
What is the diameter of a elliptical galaxy?

What is present perfect for draw?
Has/have drawn is the present perfect of "draw".
What do you press while dragging out an ellipse in order to get perfect circle?
SHIFT
Does the eccentricity E gives us the size of an ellipse?
No - The eccentricity only tells us the degree to which the ellipse is flattened with respect to a perfect circle.

How many foci are at the center of an ellipse?
An ellipse has 2 foci. They are inside the ellipse, but they can't be said to be at the centre, as an ellipse doesn't have one.
