public non-sealed class Ellipse extends Shape
The `Ellipse` class creates a new ellipse with the specified size and location in pixels

    import javafx.scene.shape.*;

    Ellipse ellipse = new Ellipse(); {
    ellipse.setCenterX(50.0f);
    ellipse.setCenterY(50.0f);
    ellipse.setRadiusX(50.0f);
    ellipse.setRadiusY(25.0f);
