Re: Ellipse approximation

You will possibly be aware that this cannot be done in the general case.
Take the three corners of a triangle, plus two points inside. Or any other
assembly of points that cannot be connected by a convex polygon.

Hello,

I have got five points on a plane and I need to find some
approximation that will "connect" these points with help of ellipse.
I'll be gratefull if someone know some ellipse-approximation.

Thanx in advance,
Andrew
