Ellipse drawing tool
Ellipse drawing tool
ELLIPSE is a drawing tool capable of drawing filled ellipses and/or ellipse outlines. The ellipse can be rotated.
Ellipse configuration panel
If the Circle option is selected, the width and height of the drawn shape is kept the same.
How to use the Ellipse tool
Press the left mouse button over the canvas, move the mouse and release the button. A new ellipse is created and control handles appear. You can drag the handles to resize the ellipse or circle. The brown control handle can be used to rotate the ellipse.
In a vector layer, the ellipse can be converted to Shape and further refined by selecting Convert to Shape from the Object or the context menus.
Scripting parameters
ELLIPSE tool can be used from scripts. The command in script may have 4 to 6 parameters:
- centerX, centerY - center of the drawn ellipse.
- sizeX - width of the ellipse.
- sizeY (optional) - height of the ellipse; if this argument is missing, sizeY defaults to sizeX resulting in a circle.
- angle (optional) - clockwise rotation of the ellipse in radians (default is 0 radians).
Example
DrawTool.ELLIPSE(Document, 100, 100, 50, 30);
DrawTool.ELLIPSE(Document, 100, 100, 50, 30, 40/180*pi); // ellipse rotated by 40 degrees clockwise
DrawTool.ELLIPSE(Document, 100, 100, 30); // circle with radius of 30 pixelsSee also: DrawTool object, Document object, Rectangle tool

There are panels on the right side that allow you to configure outline and fill.

When I made the first few cursors, I got the halo. Later in the day I tried to make a new one with a different color halo. I saved as I had done before but when I open them the halo is not there. I tried again today with the same result. Is this a bug? 
unlikely, you are doing something differently or there is another reason
