Arguments: stream center semi-major-axis semi-minor-axis semi-major-axis-angle
Erases (i.e. replaces with the background color or texture) the specified filled ellipse from stream. The ellipse is defined by the center (a position) and the two half-axes, lengths from the center to the farthest point on the edge and to the nearest point on the edge, called the semi-major-axis and the semi-minor-axis. (Technically, the major axis should be longer than the minor axis but the two arguments need not have that relationship.) The ellipse is rotated so that the semi-major-axis makes angle semi-major-axis-angle with the x-axis passing through the center. Angles are measured clockwise. Contrast with fill-ellipse which draws the filled ellipse on stream.
