Points of Graphic Oval

[Scott Rossi]

You can use the effectivePoints to get the points of any graphic shape, but depending on the size, your oval may produce too many points.

In any event, your source oval doesn't need to be perfect. If you reference a "decent" number of points along the shape of the oval, your image will have the appearance of moving along an elliptical path.

Regards,

Scott Rossi
