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
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.
An oval is simply two circles joined at the sides by straight edges. From your x/y comments (moved to discussion) I would assume what you're trying to draw is an ellipse, which the link below describes (it also shows an oval).

Construct a circle with a compass and then draw a straight line through its centre
It depends what ellipse you will draw :P
To draw ellipse or circle shapes and paths.
an instrument use to construct straight line?
To draw an ellipse passing through points A, B, and C, you can use the property that the sum of the distances from any point on the ellipse to the two foci (A and B) is constant. Since points A and B are 100 mm apart, they will be the foci of the ellipse. Point C being 75 mm from A and 60 mm from B means it lies on the ellipse. Using this information, you can construct the ellipse by finding points that satisfy the distance property.

write a program draw circle and ellipse by using oval methods in java
An instrument to construct straight lines is called a rule. It's often referred to as a ruler, but a ruler is someone who rules a country. A rule is a piece of wood, metal or plastic (usually showing measurements) that you can use to draw/construct straight lines.A straight edgeThe most common one is a ruler

The only way a compass can be used to create a circle is if you draw round it, because a compass is actually a navigational instrument which shows direction. If you're out in the woods, for example, you use a compass to show you which direction you need to head in. A pair of compasses can be used to construct, or draw, a circle of any size, up to the maximum reach of the "arms".
-- take an ellipse and spin it around its major axis-- take a chicken ....
