/**
    In 3D this is an approximation of a circle swept around a helix which is
    always in the plane normal to the tangent of the helix.  If the slope
    of the helix is less than 1.0, this is achieved by sweeping an ellipse
    oriented vertically along a helix.  If the slope is greater than or equal
    to 1.0, this is achieved by sweeping an ellipse oriented horizontally
    along a helix.  The eccentricity of the ellipse is adjusted based on the
    slope.

    In 2D this is an ellipse offset from the origin.
