Thanks guys very snazzy!
Just to give you a bit of background, I'm trying to draw ellipses to show the orbital path of planets. So the ellipses will be an outline that has to be calculated with fixed major/minor axes and eccentricity values.
RaGR:
The end result of your code is exactly what I was looking for. But I can't see which part of it let's me alter the major and minor axes to change eccentricity?
Stevie G:
That's a cool little demo, I can think I can apply that for some neat effects. But I should have mentioned that I need something to show elliptical orbits, an ellipsoid won't show that.
