Calling Sequence

---

      plot_ellipse, a, b, tilt, a1, a2, [x0, y0]

Inputs

---

      a = semi-major axis of ellipse (data units). in
      b = semi-minor axis of ellipse (data units). in
      [tilt] = angle of major axis (deg CCW from X axis, def=0). in
      [a1] = Start angle of arc (deg CCW from major axis, def=0). in
      [a2] = End angle of arc (deg CCW from major axis, def=360). in
      [x0, y0] = optional arc center (def=0,0). in
