Description:
Use the <oval> <keyword> to paint an oval or circle with the <penColor> or to change a <graphic(keyword)> to an oval shape.

When using the Oval tool, the cursor is a crosshairs shape (over stack windows) or an arrow (anywhere else). This tool is used to draw an oval or circle in the penColor, filled with the <brushColor> (or <brushPattern>).

If you try to paint with the Oval tool on a card that has no images, an image the size of the card is created to hold the painting. If the current card already has one or more images, painting outside the image has no effect.

Setting the <style> of a <graphic(keyword)> to oval makes the graphic into an oval. Oval <graphic(object)|graphics>, unlike painted ovals, can be changed and reshaped: use the <height> and <width> <properties> to change the shape and size of the oval.
