giha woo simplifies drawing perfect curves with ellipser

www.designboom.com: we have a ruler to draw a line, a compass to draw a circle, and a protractor to measure an angle. however, we have never had any tool to draw an ellipse. giha woo has a solution to this problem in the form of ‘ellipser.’ the definition of a circle is a group of points located the same distance from a given location called the center. however, an ellipse is more geometrically complex. it is described as a curve on a plane surrounding two focal points, such that a straight line drawn from one of the focal points to any point on the curve and then back to the other focal point has the same length for every point on the curve.
