Joe’s Ellipse creates circular or elliptical shapes with separate options for border, fill, softness and opacity. These shapes can also be applied as frames, border and fill settings can each be toggled on or off. Joe’s Ellipse is based on the same versatile cirular shape engine as Joe’s Soft Ellipse.
