Description

An option for dots to create an ellipse. This could be:

  • a built-in aspectRatio parameter that creates ellipse elements instead of circles if aspectRatio !== 1, or
  • a specific symbol, e.g. "ellipse" or {path: (…) => {}}, that creates a path in the shape of an ellipse—but then how would it read the aspectRatio option?
