ELLIPSES

An ellipse is aware of being grabbed from its inside or its outside.

An ellipse is resized if grabbed from the inside, or moved if grabbed from the outside. When being resized, the ellipses centre will remain put, while it changes size and aspect ratio to follow the mouse. When being moved, the ellipses size and aspect ratio will remain constant while the whole ellipse will move to follow the mouse.

To grab the ellipse from the inside, approach the perimeter from inside the ellipse. To grab it from the outside, approach the perimeter from outside the ellipse.
