The figure below shows the relationship of an oval to its framing rectangle.
OVAL uses six parameters. The first is color . The next two are the pixel width and height of
the framing rectangle in pixels. The fourth and fifth parameters are the x, y coordinates for
the top left corner of the framing rectangle. The last parameter is the fill .
