  That doesn't really work because isn't a flat ellipsoid (large
eccentricity) just a circle?  And you can't really get it totally "flat".

  Can you do this with the draw command?  All I can get is lines (two
points), triangles (three points), and four-sided figures.  It seems to
ignore any points beyond four.  I guess I could create an inline pmesh, but
that definitely is not easy...
