From b33da8a7b0f3dd92d0a2a88ec22ab72f9d028a1d Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Trevor Brown Date: Sat, 7 Nov 2026 11:52:52 -0500 Subject: [PATCH 1/5] Ellipse: an unsliced ellipse edits as four anchor points, not six (#2080) A whole ellipse and each ring contour are built as four cubics through the extremes instead of a tolerance-subdivided arc. Sliced ellipses are unchanged.
