Use a Pencil, a string, and 2 nails (or tacks). Mount the 2 nails(or tacks) on a drawing surface. Tie a string into a loop such that it will go around the 2 nails with plenty of extra slack. Lay the string so it encircles the 2 nails. Using your pencil, place it inside the string and pull it one direction so the string loop forms a triangle between 1 nail, the other nail and the pencil point. Now move the string around the nails while keeping the string pulled tight. The pencil will trace an Ellipitcal oval shape.

How do you draw a cone?
First you draw a wide oval shape then draw two straight lines that meet each other.
How do you represent sets?
name with a uppercase letterbracesfor example, E = {2,4,6,8}You can also draw an oval with the numbers inside it, and the set name [E] next to the oval.
How do you construct an oval shape?
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).
What is the example of schematic diagram of real numbers system?
The real number system can be illustrated by a Venn diagram, which looks like a number of circles or ovals which intersect or are nested. It's not possible to draw such a diagram in the WikiAnswers browser, but the following might dive the flavor: Draw a large oval which represents the integers. Inside it, draw a smaller oval to represent the whole numbers. The space between these ovals contains the negative integers. Inside the small oval draw a circle and write in it "natural numbers". Just outside the circle write a "0".
What is the difference between an ellipse and an oval?
An ellipse always has two axes of reflection; an oval has one or more.So, an egg-shape is an oval, but not an ellipse.In short an ellipse is an oval, but an oval may or may not be an ellipse.
