Methods
  NameDescription
Public methodEpsilonEquals
Check that all values in other are within epsilon of the values in this
Public methodEquals
Indicates whether this instance and a specified object are equal.
(Inherited from ValueType.)
Public methodGetFoci
Gets the foci. The foci are two points whose sum of distances from any point on the ellipse is always the same.
Public methodGetHashCode
Returns the hash code for this instance.
(Inherited from ValueType.)
Public methodGetType
Gets the Type of the current instance.
(Inherited from Object.)
Public methodToNurbsCurve
Constructs a nurbs curve representation of this ellipse.

This is equivalent to calling NurbsCurve.CreateFromEllipse().

Public methodToString
Returns the fully qualified type name of this instance.
(Inherited from ValueType.)
