Ellipses

flash_type: flash_ellipse

The flash_ellipse features are simply closed arc features and thus are handled in the same manner. The ellipse is stroked into a line segment and drawn as a line. Note that the flash linewidth and linecolor now refer to the border lines of the ellipse. Any ellipse can be used as a button for events so long is it has not undergone any transformations, i..e. rotation, scaling or translation. From the flash ellipse we also can arrive at circles since they are just ellipses with equal axis.

The following table lists the additional FME attribute names used to control the flash ellipse settings. on top of the common ones.
