Oval draws an oval inside the rectangle given by its x1, y1, x2, and y2 arguments:
new window("Ovals",
graph box(framesize(200,200),
pen color(1); oval(0,40,60,0);
pen color(3); oval(10,60,70,10);
pen color(4); oval(50,90,90,50);
pen color(5); oval(0,80,70,70)));
Oval also uses the optional fifth argument, fill. Specify a zero to get an unfilled rectangle, and a one to
get a filled oval. The oval is filled with the current fill color. The default value for fill is 0.
Figure 12.15 shows rectangles and ovals, drawn both filled and unfilled. Notice that filled rectangles do not
have outlines, while ovals do. If you want a filled rectangle with an outline, you must draw the filled
rectangle, and then draw an unfilled rectangle with the same coordinates.
