8.18.11 \oval

Synopsis:

     \oval(width,height)[portion]

The \oval command produces a rectangle with rounded corners. The optional argument portion allows you to select part of the oval via the following:

t
selects the top portion;
b
selects the bottom portion;
r
selects the right portion;
l
selects the left portion.

The “corners” of the oval are made with quarter circles with a maximum radius of 20pt, so large “ovals” will look more like boxes with rounded corners.
