It would be useful if the Ellipse functions also took an angle parameter. This would change how the x and y axes were aligned, and let you draw arbitrary ellipses (rather than only cardinally aligned ellipses). It would be an optional parameter, and leaving it out would have the function default to the Sphere 1.5/1.6 behaviour.

Code: [Select]

    OutlinedEllipse(x, y, rx, ry, c [, a])
    FilledEllipse(x, y, rx, ry, c [, a])

This would be a valuable addition to the Sphere API because there is no simple way to do this in script, but it would be very simple in engine.

Sounds interesting, useful, and easy enough to override in original Sphere!

Speaking of which, do we have a "Proposed changes" wiki page? That would be beneficial for the further development of Sphere's API as a whole, I think.

I looked for such a thing (on the forums and the wiki), but couldn't find one.

Then I'm making one! Reason is mostly to keep an overview of all these changes, especially on what we all decide on for the different implementations of Sphere.

Feel free to change it; this is just a draft.
