The original post needed to get the points of an oval in order to use 
them as a path for animating an object with the "move" command. It's 
likely the oval itself wouldn't even be displayed. Right now, ovals 
don't have the points property, so you need to use a polygon, and thus, 
the attempts to contruct one that appeared to be oval.

Soon ovals will have a points property, and these awkward attempts to 
reproduce them with polygons will no longer be necessary.
