| NOW that your link arrived, double clicking on it worked just fine.
Oops! Did I leave it out? Dang, I really am as stupid as so many tell me.
| 0.7 / 360 gives an elliptic segment from 300-600 o'clock pos.
| 0.2 / 85 gives an circle segment from 330-1100 o'clock pos.
| 0.9 / 560 gives an ellipse segment from 300-600 o'clock pos.
| 0.001/1000 = an ellipse segment from 330-400 o'clock pos.
Yes, ok. Unfortunately I have to increase the size of the spreadsheet
as a function of the number of points, so the limitation is about 60.

That I can fix, but it may be that your monitor needs a tune up. :-)
My flat widescreen LCD has a slight tendency toward pink when
it should really be grey; which is nowhere near as good as my
Compaq CRT monitor, colourwise. Fashion dictates that tubes
are out of fashion because they have the wrong aspect ratio, 3:4
instead of 3^2: 4^2, 9:16, and fashion is just like green tree-hugging
shit. Whatever sells is GOOD, or so we are to believe. And we
go along with it, the message is not good unless it is fashionable.
To think that I stared at 1024x768 pixels for all the years when
I could have understood physics much better with 1440 x 900
pixels...and spent money.
Anyway, the page works, that's what mattered.
Copernicus.exe (which I wrote over 15 years ago) allows
for 10,000,000 points. 100,000,000 points and you need a
faster computer. I'm not planning on increasing the point count
for a spreadsheet.
